The poet Father Alexander Lozza (1880–1953)
The poet was born in Marmorera and was a pastor in Salouf. In his role as confessor at the pilgrimage site Ziteil, he gained insights into human soul distress. He recorded many events in the valley in his poems. He wrote about quarrels and neighbors, about the emerging car, and sang praises of the Romansh language and the mountain world.
