Annotation

Ignacy Paderewski bought in 1898 property at Riond-Bosson in Tolochenaz, very close to Morges, where he settled soon after and lived for almost 40 years. The calm and the peace of the small village allowed him to compose his most beautiful masterpieces.

Sculptor

Milo Martin (Morges 1893 - Lausanne 1970), Swiss sculptor (Wikipedia– SIKART Lexikon).
