Casa Pozzy

Attilio Pozzy, the emigrants' banker Attilio Pozzy (1870-1943) was a merchant in Poschiavo. His work is closely linked with the history of many emigrants from Valposchiavo. In addition to a shop, he ran a private banking institution that administered their assets. The banking business was founded in 1747 on the initiative of the Ragazzi family, in 1869 it was taken over entirely by the Pozzy family and in 1972 was acquired by the Union Bank of Switzerland. Among the more than 370 banks that have merged into today's UBS, it is the oldest institution.
