In my studio in Viganello, ceramics becomes much more than an art form: it’s a fusion of passion, tradition, and innovation. Each piece I create is the result of a unique experience, a process that blends the ancient craft of ceramics with contemporary trends. Clay , shaped by hand, tells the story of its maker, and it’s this story that I want to share with those who enter my creative world. With a degree in Ceramic Design and over 15 years of experience, I’ve had the privilege of furthering my knowledge through courses and workshops in Switzerland , Italy , and Japan , where I refined traditional techniques and explored innovative approaches. This continuous commitment to learning allows me to offer my clients not only unique pieces but also a high-quality artistic experience that goes beyond simple creation: it’s an opportunity for personal growth. In my studio , I create sculptures , home decor items, ceramic jewelry , and functional objects like plates , cups , vases , and much more. Each piece is born from aesthetic exploration and the intent to combine design with functionality. Every creation is unique, designed to reflect not only my artistic research but also the needs of those who approach me in search of something special and one-of-a-kind. If you are looking for an object that tells a unique story, something you won’t find anywhere else, my studio is the perfect place to bring your idea to life. One of the most important aspects of my work is teaching . I offer ceramic courses for both beginners and advanced levels, for adults and children. Each course is tailored to meet individual expectations, allowing each participant to experience something that goes beyond technique. The courses are organized flexibly, both private and group sessions, and take place not only in my studio in Lugano but also in other locations when needed, where I hold workshops for anyone who wants to discover the world of ceramics. Each class is an opportunity to experiment and release creativity, exploring together techniques such as modeling, throwing, decoration, and glazing. For me, the art of ceramics is a means of communication, a way to express emotions and ideas through the hands. In this process, clay becomes the medium through which we rediscover the joy of creating something with both body and mind in an increasingly fast-paced and virtual world. My goal is for each participant to experience a creative and meditative journey that encourages concentration and personal expression. Custom commissions are one of my specialties. Whether it's creating an exclusive object for the home , designing pieces for restaurants , or crafting personalized gift items , each request is handled with the utmost care and attention. Every custom project begins with a dialogue with the client, translating their ideas and desires into ceramics, creating something truly unique. Collaborating with artisans, interior designers , and restaurants allows me to develop exclusive artisanal projects, creating unique and functional decor solutions. I work closely with clients to ensure that every piece perfectly meets their needs, combining the beauty of ceramics with modern, functional design, intended to enrich spaces and everyday experiences. In my studio , it’s not only about the creation of objects, but also about building a community. I am a member of local and international ceramic and artisan associations, and by participating in events and fairs, I strive to promote ceramics as a form of cultural and creative expression. These collaborations are key to creating a link between traditional craftsmanship and contemporary design, enhancing ceramic heritage in a modern way. If you wish to explore your creativity through a ceramics course or commission unique pieces for your home , business , or as a special gift , my studio is the ideal place to experience the passion for craftsmanship, excellence, and innovation. Every project is designed to offer you a unique experience, balancing tradition and contemporary design. I look forward to seeing you! Valentina

For decades, the Scudellate Ostello has been a reference point for school groups and groups of friends wishing to discover the Muggio Valley region. After major renovation work on the building, the hostel is now suitable for anyone who wants to enjoy a convivial stay, surrounded by nature and characterized by a modern and youthful structure. The Scudellate Ostello is the ideal place for groups and school parties. You can book the ostello for special occasions such as birthdays, parties, sports retreats, mountain schools, team-building trips and group travel. Depending on your needs and the number of participants, the Ostello team is ready to present you with individual offers. In the picturesque village of Scudellate, located in the upper Muggio Valley, is the Scudellate Ostello. The Ostello has recently been refurbished to accommodate families, couples, backpackers, groups of friends, school groups and work colleagues who want to enjoy a stay on the slopes of Monte Generoso. The surrounding landscape is suitable for all lovers of nature and local food and wine. From here, it is possible to set off on various excursions on foot and by mountain bike between Switzerland and Italy. A dense network of paths allows you to admire the typical flora and fauna of the region. The Osteria Manciana, located just a few meters away, is happy to delight guests of the Ostello, from breakfast to dinner, with typical regional dishes and drinks. The Ostello offers two types of rooms. There are three rooms with shared bathroom and shower and one private room with its own bathroom. On the first floor of the Ostello there is a brand-new terrace with a unique view of the valley. Thanks to the youthful and versatile furnishings, guests can spend time together, relax or enjoy the breathtaking view while enjoying a local aperitif. On the ground floor there is another terrace, but this is covered and suitable for activities even if the weather is not favorable. The common room is located on the ground floor. Here guests will have the opportunity to meet, get to know each other and share their stay. As well as for socializing, this area is suitable for relaxing, working or holding meetings. Board games, books and a guitar are at everyone’s disposal. There is also the possibility of listening to music both inside and outside the building. There is also a big screen for filming or presentations. Keep an eye on the Ostello’s social profile, @OstellodiScudellate, to find out about activities and events. The building was built as the Scudellate school between 1907 and 1909 when it was inaugurated by the entire population of Scudellate and Erbonne. In fact, it initially housed the children of the two villages, which are still in Switzerland (Scudellate) and Italy (Erbonne). As many as 51 pupils between the ages of 6 and 14 attended the school every year. The infrastructure built by the local population (see original list of benefactors of 1909) remained available as a kindergarten and school from its creation in 1909 until 1965. In the upper Muggio Valley there were also other schools in Roncapiano and Muggiasca. From 1965 to 1982, the current Ostello was mainly used for local festivals, which were very popular with the population of the entire upper Muggio Valley and beyond. On 22 August 1982, the building was given a new lease of life, and after partial renovation, the Scudellate Ostello was opened and remained open all year round. From 1982 to 2019, the sole manager was Mr Guerino Piffaretti, who managed the facility in an exemplary manner, hosting several generations of young people from schools in the Mendrisiotto area and beyond. Since 2019 the infrastructure has been taken over by the Fondazione per la salvaguardia dell’alta Valle di Muggio (Foundation for the Protection of the Upper Muggio Valley), which has assembled the old facilities with a third adjacent building (former Cooperative), creating 24 beds in 4 rooms as well as new and separate toilets. The refectory and kitchen have also been modernized and made more usable not only for guests but also for meetings/presentations etc.. Finally, there has been built a magnificent terrace of approx. 35m2 offering a spectacular view over the entire Muggio Valley. On 23 July 2021, the new Ostello was inaugurated. It will be managed as part of the Albergo Diffuso of Monte Generoso with the adjacent Osteria Manciana, the Foresteria di Scudellate and the Capanna dell’Alpe Caviano.

Ristorante particolare, elegante. Personale squisito, competente e del luogo. Cibo assolutamente divino, oltre ogni aspettativa. Best compliments!

For our hostess Simona and her team it will be a pleasure to tantalize the tastebuds of their guests with seasonal and regional recipes and dishes that are always prepared with local products. In keeping with the Ticino tradition, the kitchen recommends the ever popular “Ossobuco” from Piera with polenta from “Mulino di Bruzella”, as well as the braised beef (“Brasato”) and the the flat or tall “Formaggini” that is produced in the valley. Cheeses can be enjoyed including the Ticino cheese “Formagella”, that is made nearby on the slopes of Monte Generoso. Finally, you can taste the local sausages with the excellent bread baked in the valley, as well as the wines of Mendrisiotto. The tradition of typical dishes will also be carried on by Simona according to family recipes including the famous osso buco with polenta “della Piera.” This and more await you in a typical and cozy environment. We have carefully selected for you different wines at reasonable prices from the different wineries in the Mendrisiotto. Of course, the Merlot dominates, but there are also various assemblages and wines that are stored in barriques to emphasize the bouquet of the wines. Our wine list also contains some representative wines from neighboring Italy, from Barbaresco to Sangiovese and finally Prosecco and Spumanti, made according to the classic method (Champagnoise), as well as, of course, with the common aperitifs, our grappas and nocinos (walnut liqueurs). The name of the Osteria refers to the family name Manciana, the maiden name of the grandmother “nonna Agnese”, who has run the Osteria since the 1950s when she took over the work that her mother Giuditta had started in the 1930s. From 1970 until today, her daughter-in-law Piera has taken care of the entire management of the restaurant; she has always welcomed all visitors warmly and has cooked for thousands of guests with passion over the years. The “osso buco con polenta della Piera”, a dish whose recipe remains a secret and has now been continued by four generations, remains famous. Simona, Piera’s daughter-in-law, will take over the management of the Manciana after the renovation, maintaining the direction and traditions that have shaped this historic osteria of the Valle di Muggio and Monte Generoso region over the years. From 2021 the Osteria will be able to offer its guests a large room for 40 people and two terraces for around 15 people, including a new one with a view of the valley. The Osteria is a typical mountain inn, which has adapted to the progress and changes of the visitors over the years but has retained its character as a daily meeting point for the residents of the Muggio Valley and those passing through. In the Osteria, farmers, bricklayers, hikers and seasonal workers who returned from central Switzerland after the Second World War, border guards who lived in the village and soldiers in times of war always enjoyed meeting each other. In the 1960s smugglers who carried their goods in “bricolle” (jute sacks full of cigarettes) to Italy, also took a stop there. Even today the adventures of the “spalloni” (smugglers) are told who tried to escape the border guards in order to bring their “bricolla” to safety. For almost 100 years the MANCIANA was a reference point for the village and the visitors, who once traveled for commercial and now for tourist reasons, between Switzerland and Italy, Como Lake (Italy) and Lugano Lake (Switzerland). Hospitality and tolerance were and will remain a hallmark of the Manciana.
