Segantini 03: Turmhaus Peterelli

Segantini did not have an easy time as a stateless person in Savognin. Franz Simon Peterelli, a member of the Council of States and Cantonal Government, lobbied the cantonal authorities for the family's residence permit. He made a significant contribution to the success of the application for admission to citizenship in May 1902.

In the audio you can hear about Giovanni Segantini's difficulties in Savognin and the support he received from some important personalities. The audio file can be found at the back of the pictures.
