The Alessandro Casciaro Art Gallery is an international art gallery presenting modern and contemporary masterpieces by some of the most significant Italian as well as central European artists, selected for the quality of their quest and the uniqueness of their pictorial language, alongside works by emerging young artists, promoting them and developing their international profile. Founded in Bolzano in 2015 by Alessandro Casciaro as a successor to the Goethe Gallery, the first art gallery in South Tyrol (founded in 1964 by Ennio Casciaro), the Alessandro Casciaro Art Gallery can now look back on more than fifty years of important exhibitions, independently curated catalogues, collaborations and arts fairs, with the aim of providing varied and intense stimuli and objectives for the future of contemporary art in both Italy and Europe.

The Santo Sepolcro Church also known as the Church of Calvary, can be reached in about 20 minutes following the forest path that starts from via Santa Geltrude or from the road that goes up from via Piè di Virgolo. A handful of minutes, following the via crucis, and here we are, immersed in the forest. From here you can enjoy a wonderful panoramic view over Bolzano and the Sciliar plateau.

The church, built between 1683 and 1684, has been for centuries a place of pilgrimage. On the right, looking at the entrance of the church, there is a chapel that contains the fountain with Christ. In past times couples used to do small fertility rites to become a child. The elders of Virgolo still remember a popular belief who said that children came into the world under the fountain of the chapel and weren't brought by the stork.

The church has been restored in recent times, but the countless love-graffiti are safe. Pilgrims and lovers engraved the walls of the sepulchre with love messages from the 18th century up to our days and it is a real emotion to read those messages that overlap over the centuries and tell the story of hundreds of people through a heart, a flower, a name, a date or a promise of love.

In the 1930s, many Italian families moved to Bolzano following the
Italianisation policy implemented by the fascist regime in South
Tyrol. The immigration wave was also a result of the attempt to
industrialise the city and so, like many others, Bembo Bartolomei
moved with his family from the province of Lucca to the Alps. Bembo
founded the Bartolomei café and, while today the Bartolomeis
no longer run the establishment, it was left in good hands to another
immigrant. Hired as a young waiter, Roberto Fontana was born
in Valdastico, and he owes his staying in Bolzano to the family-run
café. It didn’t take him long to meet his business partner while out
and about pursuing his passion – paragliding. Peter Zingerle, pâtissier-
cum-paraglider, was a household name in Bolzano until he passed
away in 2017. He delighted everyone with his sweet temptations in
his patisserie – a Bolzano institution – in Via Druso. One fine day he
convinced Roberto to take over the long-established Italian cafe together
– and to sell Zingerle sweets there, of course. An endeavour
which became reality in 1995. The rest, as they say, is history.

Lungomare, a cultural association founded in Bolzano in 2003, was created from the desire and necessity to open a space in which to share differences, experiences, opinions and desires, a space in which to make the link between cultural production and the political and social dimension. Lungomare undertakes projects that investigate and test possible relationships between design, architecture, urban planning, art and theory, the results of which are presented in different formats: public discussions, conferences, publications, exhibitions and interventions in public spaces. All these formats are characterised by the intention to interact with cultural and socio-political processes relating to the region in which Lungomare is located.

Currently Lungomare’s activities focus on long-term residency projects, a format whereby Lungomare invites guests to engage and interact within the context of South Tyrol. Lungomare’s activities are based on three principles: specific attention to the context in which the association’s projects are undertaken, the transdisciplinary approach that distinguishes these projects, and reflection on the role of Lungomare as a cultural institution in connection with the region in which it operates.

The Galerie Prisma is the central meeting-place for art and culture. Within the walls of the "German House" in the Weggensteinstrasse in Bozen / Bolzano – a location rich in history – one finds the 160-square-meter vaulted hall of the SKB gallery. Not only readings, symposia, and other cultural events are held here at the gallery, but about ten exhibitions also take place annually. The focus is on group and individual exhibitions of the members.

Gentle, buggy-friendly promenade walk on the southern slopes of Bolzano

The walk near the city provides visitors with countless breath-taking views and can be recommended at all times of the year. Even in deepest winter there are plenty of opportunities for observing nature, as the local microclimate ensures that it is exceptionally mild here throughout the year. We’re always surrounded by a thriving natural environment and, although the promenade is artificially laid out and has been landscaped in many places, this is nevertheless a retreat where unspoilt nature can be enjoyed.

From the smallest pocket knife to the most extraordinary slicer, there is nothing in these workshops that is not of the highest quality. Knives, scissors, kitchen utensils, sharp objects for work, for gifts, for collectors; in the Lorenzi workshops you can admire hundreds of different objects, all produced in the finest craftsmanship. Since 1948, the Lorenzi family has been synonymous with refinement and professionalism, and entering the shops in Via Bottai 28 and Via Goethe 36 is like entering a world of curiosity that is truly exciting.

The Fuganti sisters opened the shop at the end of the 1950s to supply
the district with the necessary products needed for sewing, knitting,
embroidery and crochet work. Back then, most of us would still
make our own clothing and our grandmothers and mothers could be
seen altering and patching up clothes regularly. The popular haberdashery
store changed ownership twice before three friends turned
their hobby into their daily breadwinner in 2018 – or rather, turned
their hobby into a business which also hired a part-time employee.
Besides selling haberdashery such as buttons, zippers, yarns, etc.
the store also sells sewing machines and provides technical support,
gentle detergents with surfactants of vegetable origin, house and
intimate linen, and a huge selection of knitting wool. Since the
three women love sewing, knitting and crocheting, you know you
can trust their advice. A sustainable hobby? Repairing zippers. Their
passion led them to organise knitting cafes and various sewing and felt workshops in their shop. The pandemic didn’t stop them, as they
organised the same sessions on the Talvera meadows along the river
on Friday afternoons and evenings. Great events which unite different
generations and provide a meeting spot for the people living in
the neighbourhood.

FC Südtirol is Italy’s northernmost professional football club and the only one in the vast geographic area between Verona and Trento. As the name suggests, FC Südtirol represents an entire territory, the Autonomous Province of Bolzano. Therefore it serves as an integration model for the three language groups based in South Tyrol: Italian, German and Ladin.
The club recently celebrated its 25th anniversary. Due to the constant growth and a highly professional management, FC Südtirol is considered as a role model in Italian football. The recently refurbished Stadio Druso in Bolzano is the home of FC Südtirol. The stadium is located in the center of the city and can be easily reached on foot and by bike. The completion of the new
Stadio ‘Druso’ is not only a milestone in the club’s history, but also offers a new venue for the three language groups to cheer together for the FCS!

The Artists' Association has been active in the Province of Bolzano since 1922, first under the name of S.I.A.B.A. (Italian Union of Fine Arts Artists) and later as F.I.D.A. (Italian federation of artists). In 1985 the Association drew up a new statute and took its current name. The aim of the Association is to coach and bring together artists from the three language groups operating in the Province. It is a non-profit organisation and carries out its activities thanks to the commitment of its members who enable the realisation of the various activities through their voluntary work.

It represents established artists and new talents through publishing activities, organising events and using internet as a means of information and communication.
The Artists' Association is also involved in the formation of art enthusiasts for whom it organises image education courses, especially in oil painting, watercolour, graphics, drawing and experimental painting. The teaching staff is made up of artists almost all of whom were trained at Fine Arts Academies. During the year they also offer visits to the most important exhibitions and art fairs.
