ELECTRO-GAS MARKET SANFTL DER VIGL MARIANNE - INDIVIDUAL COMPANY OF BOLZANO

The Rubatscher Boutique is a historic address in the centre of Bolzano. It is here that one can find the finest and most form-fitting underwear, the perfect hosiery for women and men, nightwear to suit every intimacy and the newest and most sought-after beachwear from the best brands.

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.

Luca Pintimalli is a bona fide coffee maestro, a passion he has
nurtured from a very early age all thanks to his mother. She’d discovered
the café boasting its very own roastery. It was love at first
sight. “The first exclusive roastery in Bolzano, a universe of green
coffee beans and an aroma which wafted across the entire neighbourhood.”
His parents purchased Tropical Caffè in 1981 from the
previous owners, who’d been running it for two generations in the
Europa-Novacella neighbourhood. Luca was brought up between
jute coffee bags and behind the shop’s counter. He contributed
more to the business as his mother, Nadia, started to decline due
to a severe sickness; in 2014, she passed away, and Luca decided to
interrupt his studies in Padova and Trento to dive headfirst into the
universe of coffee. He never looked back and was swept away by the
world of coffee, raw materials, and supply chains, making him the
coffee expert he is today.
Your senses come alive upon crossing the tiny café’s door. You’re
enveloped in a sweet, heady aroma of coffee, and your gaze sweeps
over the coffee grinders and all the other necessary equipment, select chocolate pralines, Italian sugared almonds, and rare sweets,
until it rests on the valuable coffee beans from the four corners of
the world. Aha! The culprits of that wonderful aroma. The café is a
meeting point for all coffee gourmands from the neighbourhood
and the city at large. If you fancy tasting the same coffee prepared
using different methods – from an espresso machine through a
French press, paper filter to much, much more, you’re in coffee Eldorado.
You can also purchase exclusive coffee-based gifts or simply
find out more about the vast and diverse world of coffee.

History
When it first opened at the end of the 1960s, the store was a third
of its current space. Gianni Guerra opened the opticians with wife
Vanda and their son Luca – the current owner – studied optometry
at university to then join the family business in 1995. Gianni also realised
his dream and received the master optician diploma 30 years
after his journeyman’s examination. Luca’s wife Arabella also joined
the company a few years later, just one of the many additions to the
ever-growing company.
Stand-out traits
Lucas and Arabella purchased an automatic phoropter at a trade fair
three years ago to provide high-precision results in vision measurement
and lens determination. The smart vision tester takes up one
of the rooms in the back of the store and has proved to be immensely
helpful when assessing the eyesight of children and the elderly.
On top of that, the store is the only authorised Cartier concessionaire
in South Tyrol. An important recognition as the luxury Parisian
brand selects its partners following strict criteria.

MOIRÉ represents exceptional women’s fashion and care-free shopping in a beautifully designed space. In the 3 Moiré Fashion shops – two in the heart of Bolzano, one in Merano – elegance and charm are combined in the name of fashion to create a unique style.

History
Tiozzo Severino was born in the province of Padova in 1923. He was
a paperhanger and the grandfather of today’s owner. The young
tradesman moved to Bolzano and in 1946 decided to set up his own
business in Via Genoa. The store specialised in producing wool mattresses.
A niche product if there ever was one. But back in the day
it sold exceptionally well, and was particularly well received by the
Italian immigrants living in the Semirurali worker neighbourhood,
which had been created after World War II. All things change and, in
1959, grandfather Severino moved to Via Torino and stopped selling
mattresses in favour of curtains and wallpapers. In 1985, his sons
Roberto and Silvano joined the family-run business, and his nephew
Mirco took over after his uncle retired in 2006.
Stand-out traits
The modern store boasts floor-to-ceiling windows which flood
the store with plenty of natural light. This setup also establishes a
direct connection with Bolzano’s industrial estate’s busy roads, as
the store is located opposite the historical Valbruna steelworks and
right next to the innovative NOI techpark. What all the business’
clients have in common is measures scribbled on sheets of paper or the blueprint of their apartment, the key ingredients when purchasing
duvets and kitchen linen, curtains, awnings, and solutions
to provide shade. All these are tailored or adapted to the client’s
specifications in the workshop on the first floor, while the workshop
in the cellar is where the upholstery magic takes place across a sea
of divans, armchairs, and chairs.

Since 1939 in the world of wines - Weins, distillates and gastronomic specialities.

History
The origins of this family of cobblers dates back to the 19th century
in Chiusa, where they’d opened their first shoemaker’s workshop,
Fill, in 1871. In the 20th century, one of the family’s son remained in
Chiusa, while the other moved to Bolzano to Piazza Gries where today
you can find Café Menz (see p. 147). The current owner’s grandfather
– Karl Fill – built the building of today’s Fill premises in 1961,
boasting space for a shop, show workshop, and an apartment. Since
2022, the third Bolzano generation has been running the business,
led by siblings Patrizia and Horst, while Werner (Karl Fill’s nephew)
and Waltraud, the second generation, still help out.
Stand-out traits
We know how important it is to wear comfortable shoes. Here
is where you can go the extra mile: the store sells special socks,
insoles, shoelaces and shoeshine as well as comfortable shoes for
women, men and children – and even babies! It boasts a vast range
of regular shoes, slippers, and mountain boots all united by the fact
they’re extremely comfortable to wear. Horst Steinhauser is the current
owner and completed his training as an orthopaedic specialist
and shoemaker in Austria. He then worked in Innsbruck and Munich before opening his workshop in the Gries neighbourhood 20 years
ago where he’s been “solving problems with his feet” ever since.

A great surprise awaits you if you enter and look around this unique medieval building in the Lauben/Portici. Here you can find classic to fashionable shoes for man and woman, bags, huts and slippers. Own manufacture. Quality and service are the keys to our success.

Butcher's shop Schrott has been operating for more than 40 years and you will not find just high quality meat there. Dumplings, lasagna, schlutzkrapfen, sauces, side dishes and much more are waiting to be tested.

All this can be found at the new SPORTLER Flagship Store on the Rathausplatz in Bozen. But there’s more: free Wi-Fi throughout the store and charging stations for smartphones. A large indoor running test track with the most modern video motion analysis equipment in Europe, the Scott bike fitting section with the first measurement instrument of its kind in Italy, handmade Ertl-Renz bespoke ski boots and Fischer vacuum ski boot fitting all perfectly complement our wide range. We also have our SPORTLER Alpine branch under the Bozen Lauben (arcades) where you can find everything for mountain sports.

Ario Selenati came from Trieste and, together with his wife, and the
uncle of today’s owner, opened a hardware store. In 1970, the then
employee – Albino Zanoni – took over the business and renamed it.
In 2014, after helping his uncle Albino in the store for many years
and learning the ropes of the trade on the job, following his technical
vocational studies, Silvio Zanoni started running the business.

You know you’ll always get excellent and friendly customer service
here, regardless of the type of request you have –
a new toolbox, a garden top or stockpot, a mixer, two screws or a
copy of one’s keys.

History
If you were ever to wonder what someone from the Don Bosco
neighbourhood looks like, then simply hit up Fabio Gambaroni, who
was born and brought up here. Back in the day, he and his grandmother
bought his first watch at the Juwelier Resia, then owned by
Elena Mittempergher, and who shared the premises with a watchmaker.
A small, simple range of products stood to attention: yellow
gold necklaces, silver bracelets for men, and some watches. Fabio
Gambaroni took over the shop in 1993 when he was only 24. He
loves his job and has been serving people on his own ever since.
Stand-out traits
Talking is something Fabio is good at, be it for a chat or when advising
potential customers. If there’s a request, he’ll see to it, is what
he says with a big smile on his face. His attitude and the simple,
stylish interiors are what make the store so appealing in the first
place. He’s not interested in competing against the other, big dealers
– he’d much rather focus on slipping between the cracks they
leave open, providing traditional and extraordinary items of jewellery.
He’s also happy to change watches’ batteries or refer people to
the right person if more complex repairs are required.

Eduard Mall’s name is still in display in the shop. He was apprenticed
after the Second World War to one of the legendary goldsmiths
of the city, namely Ferdinand Schubert (originally from
Vienna), who left him the shop after an accident made it difficult
for him to continue. In 1958, Eduard set up shop by opening a small
workshop in Piazza Erbe, which created jewellery and watches. In
the mid-1960s, Eduard Mall moved to Via Goethe. In 1970, his son
Günther became an apprentice in the family-run business, and he
deepened his skills in other places during the summer – especially
in small goldsmith workshops in Florence, Gallarate, Valenza, Padova
and Pforzheim. He worked on designing, preparing, and altering
jewellery and jewels. Even the women of the family have always
worked in the business: first, Gunther’s mother and sister, then his
wife Renata, who joined the family business in 1988. The couple has
been running the business since 2001.

If only walls could talk, this building alone would be worth a visit. It
was home for 170 years to a dynasty which traded in fabrics, founded
by the cloth merchant Anton Oberrauch, and is now a successful
Italian fashion and sporting goods empire. When renovating the
premises in the 1950s, the operation was seen as an opportunity
to rethink the business – which is what the head of the family did.
Heinrich Oberrauch (†2017) converted the fabric shop into a prêt-aporter
shop and merged it with the Zitt fashion store (which belonged
to his mother Julie Zitt in Merano). Et voila, the Oberrauch Zitt brand
was born. A brand which also encapsulated a guiding principle, i.e.
leveraging tradition and reinterpreting it. The flash of genius struck
Heinrich during his honeymoon in Scandinavia when he noticed how
Norwegian sweaters were flying off the shelf when marketed as souvenirs.
That was the beginning of the traditional costume and loden
fashion brand, Oberrauch Zitt, with Luis Trenker one of its most loyal
customers. Nowadays, when you think of “loden” you automatically
think of Oberrauch Zitt – a fabric that soon helped South Tyrol to
market itself as a tourism destination besides staple “products” such
as apples, wine and the Dolomites. Train stations are weird, wonderful
places – but surely the sight of lodens being delivered while trains
passed by Bolzano must have been a bit too much! But that’s just
how much Oberrauch Zitt’s loden were appreciated. One of Heinrich’s
sons – current owner Heiner Oberrauch – became the store’s manager in 1999 and founded the Lodenwelt in Vandoies, which also
included a museum, as well as the Oberalp/SALEWA group of sporting
goods together with his brother Georg (see globus on page 47),
the Sportler company and many, many more.

As a jeweller, Rosella Bonaldi has quite the keen eye. So she must
have seen something nobody else did when, over 60 years ago, she
opened her store among a row of modern apartments behind which
only green fields grew. However, since then, Bolzano has spread to
the south and new blocks of flats have sprung up like wild mushrooms.
More apartments mean more people, and more residents
mean potential customers. Bonaldi had moved from Bergamo to
try her luck by opening her own business. Fortune must favour
the bold, for it is still alive and kicking – thriving, actually – now
managed by her daughters when she stepped down in 1996. Right
place, right time, even when the gold and precious jewels business
snowballed, she was helped by three sisters in the shop. So while
the shop is still run by women as in the past, it has unfortunately
suffered a change of fortunes, reminiscent of those old Hollywood
movies, due to the dramatic change in how people shop. Bolzano’s
first shopping centre opened ten years ago to much fanfare, which
translated to a 30% drop in business for smaller stores. A trend
compounded by the rise of digitalisation and the resulting change in
how people now favour online shopping compared to visiting brick
and mortar establishments.
The shop’s regular clientele spans three generations – but sisters
Elena and Silvia wanted to reach out to a new target market, especially
online consumers. Since then, they’ve made targeted investments
in their social media presence: their Youtube videos regale
people with details, facts, and trivia about diamonds, what is meant
by “pure gold”, and how to tell the difference between 24 karat
and 14 karat gold, or how to spot fake pearls from a mile away. And
believe it or not, you can also find them on TikTok and Instagram
showcasing their products, while Facebook is reserved for presenting
new products. Different media but all united by the family’s
knowledge and expertise.

Back in the day, Pfaff sewing machines were sold from door to door –
and that’s exactly what Josef Mohr from Swabia did. He opened the
shop in the Portici in 1911 and the range of products also included
typewriters and, at a later stage, gramophones, and records. His
sons, Alfred and Karl, grew the business with the help of their wives
by adding repair and delivery services. Christian Mohr represents
the third generation to run the business, and the trained sewing
machine technician became the store owner in 1990. He learnt the
importance of diligent work and being close to one’s customers
from his father Karl and mother Maria, phased out the slowly shrivelling
music department with its outdated CDs after renovating the
store, and got rid of wool and knitting utensils to expand his sewing
clientele with more professional and numerous services.

Let’s start at the very beginning with some hard facts. Therese Gasser
was born in Millan, near Bressanone, but at the tender age of 23 took
over the small haberdashery shop in Bolzano from her aunt Zenz Öttl.
Therese worked in the shop most of her life, supported by two apprentices,
sisters Kreszenz and Anna Kaufmann. In 1921, as she didn’t
have children, Therese decided to give her store and, with it, her
surname, to the “Gasser Gals” – her employees. In 1972, Anna’s niece,
Gertraud Sauer, née Kaufmann, took over the business after having
spent part of her married life in Munich and having acquired considerable
experience selling leather clothes. The small shop has been
run by women for the equivalent of four generations and became
Gertraud’s pride and joy – so much so she only stopped going in every
day at the ripe old age of 90! In 2011, her son Wolfgang Sauer stepped
up to oversee the business’ administration while two women still
advise and help clients find what they need in keeping with tradition.

The restaurant with its own brewery is open 360 days a year.

Here you can find culinary delights from the South-Tyrolean and Italian cuisine with a refreshing beer, brewed according to German Purity Law "Reinheitsgebot" of 1516.

Eccel Decorona - from 1907 to today

In the year 1907, under the Bolzano arcade, the skilled textile merchant Marius Eccel senior opened his first shop together with his wife Maria Eccel Schaller.

His descendants were and still are born merchants. Each of Marius Eccel junior's sons set up his own business. Since 1954, the Eccel Decorona bed linen shop has had its headquarters in the Decorona porch house in Bolzano.

Walter Eccel ran it until 2003. Today, his son Andreas Eccel runs the company. In 2002, a sales outlet was also opened in Brunico.

Marius Eccel senior, the progenitor of a dynasty of traders, was originally from Borgo di Valsugana. At that time, at the turn of the century, merchants were also 'travelling salesmen'. They travelled by carriage out of the village, took orders and made deliveries to customers. The business grew; each grandson specialised in a different sector of the textile field. Eccel Decorona concentrated on sheets, bedclothes and towels.

A passion that renews itself and grows true to its roots. Since 1801 as a family

Peter’s father was one of the most important butchers in the city,
whereas his mother followed her own path and opened her own
tobacco store in 1955 – Peter was a 1-year-old baby – in Don Bosco, a
neighbourhood which mostly comprises Italian-speaking Bolzanini.
Idle hands weren’t something the family believed in, so Peter started
helping out at the shop during the school breaks and holidays. It
soon dawned on him, at the start of the 60s upon finishing school,
that he’d be taking over the business.
The shop is a true cave of wonders: every square inch seems to be
bursting with products, and the 60 m² stock whatever you may
need – and then some. Toys, stationery, cards for every occasion;
however, the pride and joy of the venue is its tobacco, especially pipes and all the relevant tools, and a wealth of different tobacco.
Oh, and don’t forget to try your luck and buy a scratch card or play
your lucky numbers at the lottery.
