Hocus-pocus in the ghost village

Neue Zürcher Zeitung

Text
2019

Helmut Stalder

Corippo, Switzerland's smallest municipality, is home to just twelve people. Now, a transformation has begun that aims to give the dying Ticino village a second lease of life. This report shows how a mountain village threatened by depopulation and an aging population is fighting back against extinction with innovative ideas.
