==Commemoration==
Among others, ''via Giuseppe Motta'' in [[Lugano]], [[Chiasso]], [[Minusio]], Mendrisio, and [[Massagno]], ''[[Piazza Giuseppe Motta]]'' in [[Ascona]] and ''[[Avenue Giuseppe-Motta]]'' in [[Geneva]] are named for him.

His portrait was painted twice in the late 1930s by the Swiss-born American artist [[Adolfo Müller-Ury]]. The first, a large three-quarter portrait, dated 1938, hangs in the Archivio Cantonale in Bellinzona; the artist was sent a photograph by Motta at the end of 1937, and then the artist travelled to Berne in the summer of 1938 to work on the portrait from life. The second portrait, half-length seated at a desk and dated 1939, in the Haus Muller-Lombardi in [[Hospental]], Switzerland as part of the Adolfo Muller-Ury Stiftung. This was exhibited at the artist's last exhibition at French and Co, New York in the spring of 1947 and returned to Switzerland after his death in July that year.

Annually since 2004, the [[Geneva Institute for Democracy and Development]] presents the [[Giuseppe Motta Medal]] to people from any country or region of the world for exceptional achievement in the promotion of [[peace]] and [[democracy]], [[human rights]] and [[sustainable development]].<ref>[http://motta.gidd.eu.org/ Giuseppe Motta Medal Website] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140222040927/http://motta.gidd.eu.org/ |date=2014-02-22 }}</ref>
