The small village of Chemp, nestled in the steep sunny slope on the banks of the Lys stream, is located in the beautiful Monte Rosa Valley, a short distance from Perloz, a municipality rich in history and home of the powerful medieval Vallaise family.
This small cluster of stone and wood houses tells the story of a rural society far from the present day, in which the villages were connected to each other by a long network of mule tracks, and where life took place in perfect harmony with the slow rhythms dedicated to cultivation and livestock.
The rebirth of the small village was "a dream carried by the wind", as quoted by Giuseppe (Pino) Bettoni, a craftsman and artist from the Aosta Valley, originally from the valley, who moved to the village and with great sensitivity gave it a new look.
The place has now become an open-air museum in which the dialogue between the beautiful sculptures he created, placed in the most evocative corners, between the houses or free in contact with the fresh air, dialogue with the surrounding nature.
