Explorations of Caves by Sergio Veri

Description

Sergio Veri has collected thousands of images and discovered, explored, and studied hundreds of caves and natural voids in Ticino and beyond as part of his cave research. This exhibition presents a selection of photographs from the Monte Generoso area and the Muggio Valley, where approximately 18 km of caves have been explored and mapped so far. These caves are part of a vast, still little-explored, and densely interconnected underground system. The investigations by cave researchers have uncovered extraordinary archaeological and naturalistic finds, as well as subtle nuances and traces of a tumultuous history that raise questions and evoke curiosity and emotions. Furthermore, the depths have been a source of artistic, scientific, and spiritual inspiration for millennia. In the current state of cave research in the karst area of Monte Generoso, a total of 114 caves (124 entrances) have been identified, with a density of 2.3 caves per square kilometer. The total length is approximately 18 km, of which about 16 km have been surveyed.
