Montagnola dedicated to hermann hesse biography

A "homeland of the soul": this is what the Golden Hill became for Hesse, to be discovered with the audioguide that may be obtained at the museum and that takes the visitor through a beautiful landscape, accompanied by a voice and on the footsteps of the writer himself. You will see his favourite places, the houses where he lived, the woods where he enjoyed walking and painting, the grottos taverns - like the Cavicc, still open today - where Hesse would spend a few hours in the shade.

The walk with the audioguide "On the footsteps of Hermann Hesse" starts from the museum, covers eleven points and unravels between Montagnola and Gentilino following the stages of the author's life in Ticino. Leaving the Museum you can enjoy the Casa Camuzzi, Hesse's first house. Walking through the woods, you will come across grottos where, as the author enjoyed doing, you may take a rest.

The many personal belongings, photos, books and watercolour paintings show not only the writer, but also Hesse as a private person.
