Aside from a glazed roof, this church is enveloped, inside and out, by alternating runs and blocks of grey Riveo granite and white Peccia marble—both native to the region. The modern marble and granite Church of San Giovanni Battista (St. John the Baptist), designed by Ticinese architect Mario Botta (born 1943) is the main attraction for the little village of Mogno.
