The Church of San Giovanni Battista rises above the stone lanes of Mogno in Switzerland’s Verzasca Valley, its elegant façade and old bell tower framed tightly by the surrounding mountains. The broad cobblestone staircase gives the little church an unexpected sense of ceremony, drawing the eye upward from the village toward a place of worship that has stood at the center of this Alpine community for centuries.
