An overview/beginner's guide to the Monte Verita commune at Ascona. At its peak(1900 to 1920) Ascona was at the epicenter of the counterculture, emitting seismic waves of intellectual thought and creativity. It played host, and influenced some of the brightest and best of a generation (Otto Gross, Sigmund Freud, D.H. Lawrence, Aldous Huxley, H.G. Wells, Rudolph Steiner, Frieda van Richtofen, Herman Hesse etc etc... As the current Monte Verita website, says, ‘it was a place where our minds could reach up to the heavens.’ The ground-breaking ideas that emerged from that commune in the early years of the 20th Century, spanning many disciplines, went on to influence our world, mostly for the better, although some of those ideas morphed in the outside world and were used for more nefarious purposes.
