Sommer in Grengiols. Fotografien von Arthur Rosatti

Arthur Rosatti (1916-2005), a printer from Biel, came to Grengiols, the home village of his wife Anna (née Walpen), with his family every summer. The family traveled by train with their three children and Rosatti's elderly mother. The luggage was transported from the station to the village in a horse-drawn cart. From the 1960s onwards, Rosatti rode his Vespa from Biel to Grengiols. The enthusiastic photographer carried his photo and film equipment on the luggage rack, consisting of the legendary Rolleiflex medium-format camera, an Exakta 35mm camera, a film camera and a tripod. At the end of the vacation weeks, many hours were needed to bring the moving testimonies of village life in Grengiols to life in the bathroom, which had been converted into a photo lab, and at the kitchen table in the small apartment in Biel. Arthur Rosatti takes us on a fascinating journey back in time to the middle of the last century. Everyone is cordially invited to the opening of the exhibition!
The exhibition shows pictures from the Grängjer Rosatti archive and was created in collaboration with Peter Rosatti, the photographer's son. | Regional Museum Binntal, Ackerstrasse 2, 3996 Binn
