In the 1970s, artist Bryan Cyril Thurston fought for the Greina with poetry. Decades later, his son finds new strength in it.

In the 1970s, the GREINA, which connects Graubünden with Ticino, became famous throughout Switzerland. The architect and artist Bryan Cyril Thurston campaigned for 20 years with his art against a reservoir on this magnificent plateau. At the time, his saying "only poetry can save the Greina" seemed rather abstruse to his son. But today he finds an unexpected strength in it. Everyone wants beauty!
