Description

This itinerary leads you to certain points of the landscape on the Montagnola - Collina d'Oro (Golden Hill), which were especially dear to the poet and that are reflected in his works. Along the way there are 11 tables that report parts of his thoughts and books. Hermann Karl Hesse was a German-Swiss poet, novelist, and painter. His best-known works include Demian, Steppenwolf, Siddhartha, and The Glass Bead Game, each of which explores an individual's search for authenticity, self-knowledge and spirituality. In 1946, he received the Nobel Prize in Literature. You can visit the Museo Hermann Hesse - located in Montagnola-Lugano. Personal objects, photos, books and watercolor paintings tell of his life. During his years in Ticino he wrote with views of the nearby Lake Lugano - in an apartment of the picturesque little castle.
