Abstract

Aurelio Galfetti was born in 1936 in the mountainous region of Ticino, Switzerland, living and working in Bellinzona until he passed away last year. The small town hosts several of his works, including the Casa Rotalinti (completed in 1961), the impressive bathhouse (designed in 1967 with Flora Ruchat-Roncati and Ivo Trümpy), and the Biomedical Research Institute realised in 2021. His most famous work, however, is the renovation of the Castelgrande, part of the medieval defence system that still dominates the city. It would turn out to be an endeavour spanning two decades, and is among Galfetti’s greatest achievements.
