The "Musa Leggera" wants to keep itself beautiful, fresh and ever more seductive. You will find confirmation of this in this first instalment of the new season that we present here: five appointments in the goldsmithery of the Smile. We begin with a dazzling tribute to Raffaella Carrà, the eternal showgirl who for more than fifty years accompanied the nights and dreams of Italians from the small screen. We return to classical operetta with a masterpiece of light opera (‘La Principessa della Czarda’) full of musical splendour. Promising effervescent sympathy, laughter and success is the bubbly show (‘Bollicine’) by Max Giusti. To follow another theatrical magic by director Fulvio Crivello: after Da Vinci and Van Gogh here is the brand new Caravaggio in Musical about the great artist's reckless life. To arrive, in the pre-Christmas mood, at a musical that never ceases to thrill entire families: the fantastic ‘Aladdin’, one of the delights born from the imagination of the inobliable Stefano D'Orazio in a brand new edition.
Through direct testimonies and expert talks, the event aims to raise awareness and stimulate a constructive dialogue on the future of the rights of rainbow families and people involved in surrogacy pathways.
The program will feature the testimonies of Danilo and Christian, who became parents through surrogacy, and, remotely connected, that of Savannah Campbell, a pregnant woman involved in a successful surrogacy pathway.
In December, a CHI C'È C'È! special in the cellar of Casa della Pesa, designed to bring together the Weigh Station community related to the themes of work, creativity and culture with "Rete al Femminile". Rete al Femminile is a national association that recently landed in Bolzano to give its members the opportunity to support each other in facing the challenges of self-employment and entrepreneurship. Networking, for those who work as freelancers, freelancers or entrepreneurs, is a primary value, yet very difficult to achieve, which is why the association brings together needs and expectations and raises awareness in the local community with respect to women empowerment issues.
An evening open to all and with women-only admission, a perfect opportunity to meet, share ideas and celebrate the holiday season together!
Program of the evening:
6:00 pm - Intro and networking aperitif (Optional aperitif menu: cost 10 euros - at Waag Cafe)
7:30 pm - S.I.R.A SOUL'S MUSIC - Linda Fabijenna Röhl + Barbara Schindler
"Books for Christmas" remains the cultural highlight of the Bolzano Christmas Market. High-calibre authors are guests in Bolzano this year to present their works and meet the public.
The 9th edition will take place this year on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays from 29 November to 14 December in the Foyer of the Tourism Board and in the Festival Hall of the Municipality of Bolzano.
The detailed programme can be downloaded from the attached PDF.
Free admission. It is possible to purchase the book on site.
From the 25th of November to the 16th of December 2024, the third edition of the ‘Arte in ...Comune’ collective art exhibition will take place in the Foyer of the Municipality of Bozen/Bolzano in vicolo Gumer 7. It will be a tribute to all women who suffer violence, particularly as a result of war.
The cycle of events and activities dedicated to the Constitution continues in the Civic Library.
After the October 15 event dedicated to Article 1, the first week of November saw the participation of the youngest: five meetings-workshops involving five classes and 102 secondary school girls and boys, with their teachers, engaged in reflecting on concepts such as freedom, equity and justice. The workshops were led by Anna Sarfatti, a writer, author of essays and articles in the pedagogical and educational fields, who has always been engaged in the search for paths and tools to promote the culture of rights and active citizenship among young people.
The review will continue in December with two conferences dedicated to Articles 2 and 3.
STAZIONE UNO GALLERY, an exhibition space located in the heart of Bolzano, is composed of spaces totaling over 300 square meters,divided over 2 floors and 3 rooms. The creator, Johann Kosjek,
assisted by the Mediamacs Design team responsible for the exhibitiongraphics, aims to fill the gallery with special exhibitions for a period of two years. Stazione Uno now presents its latest creation,
LIVINGBIOGRAPHIES, which, as the name suggests, tells the life stories of everyday people. At the center of the exhibition are the personalitiesof the individual exhibitors: their families, their histories,
their life paths, their dreams, and finally their "diagnosis." With a commonthread: the participants in the exhibition are always connected to their destiny and not to the successes of an overly satisfying life.
Stazione Uno comes to life through its participants. A team that could not be more diverse: people with and without disabilities, peoplewith and without "diagnoses," people even with 100% disability, gathered
in what we have chosen to call the DOWN ART COLLECTION.People who have something to say and tell their unusual life stories, facing them positively, and constituting the so-called primary targetgroup of our exhibition work.
Today’s wars are wars of images. Visuals of military tactics, war crimes, and destruction fill our daily lives, but they are more than just reports. They compete in the information battlefield. Violent imagery has always driven the media, but with 24/7 news and social media, global audiences are constantly exposed to conflict images. News are commercialized, footage is edited like action films cutting out normal life to keep viewers hooked. In a body of works created within the last decade, Mykola Ridnyi explores how to discuss violence without perpetuating it, by using metaphors of blindness to highlight society’s dehumanization amidst sensational news and challenges of war. Since 2014 the artist has dealt with Russian war against Ukraine, its transformations and its perception in the world on its way from a hybrid conflict to the full-scale invasion.

The scent is that of cinnamon and spices, of mountain wood and home-made cakes, of mulled wine and festively decorated fir trees.
The light is that of the wooden houses all tidy and decorated, the light coming from the Christmas tree and shining in the eyes of the children.
The sweet notes of Christmas carols and cheerful harmony waft through the air.
Tastes reminiscent of Zelten with candied fruit, apple strudel, homemade biscuits.
The warmth in the hands of boiled wool, loden, decorated candles, a steaming cup in the company of friends.
The Christmas Market is the most eagerly awaited event of the year: from November 24th to January 6th.

This project, as per the title of the exhibition, began at the sea, in
Camogli, in Liguria. At that time, Matteo Agreiter's idea was.
to create a connection between sea and mountain, in fact: seeing
a sailor is a bit like seeing a mountain man: both brush
their actions in the sea and the mountain, their reason for living.
The skier in his turns finds in the snow sensations similar to the
surfer riding the waves. In short, for me sea and mountains have
many similarities: after all, in the beginning, these mountains too
were sea.
The fossil museum is designed as an outdoor museum and is accessible to interested visitors at any time and explains itself by means of texts and audio stations.
A guided tour for a group of the museum with one of our local experts is highly recommended. Booking is possible by means of direct requests to the tourist office: info@moelten.net
It is now a long time – 260 million years – since trees resembling today’s araucaria grew in Mölten/Meltina. The ginkgos produced feathery leaves, while tree-high horsetails stood between the village of Mölten/Meltina and the Möltner Kaser hut. It is astonishing that clearly identifiable forms of these South Tyrolean primeval forests remain: trees fell into the riverbank or were carried along by the current, embedded in sand and finally transformed into fossils.
They can now be seen in the Fossil Museum, which was revitalised in 2023 and designed as an outdoor exhibition. It shows the best of the finds from the area around Mölten/Meltina. Particularly noteworthy are the fossil tree and plant remains, some 260 million years old, as well as the footprints of a small reptile.
What is special about the fossils in Mölten/Meltina? There are only three places in South Tyrol where plant fossils from the Late Permian have been recovered: the Bletterbach Gorge; Seceda; and Mölten/Meltina. The finds from Mölten/Meltina are the only ones that reveal entire trees. Details of their growth, their branches, roots and size are all clearly visible, which makes it possible to reconstruct entire forests.
The Fossil Museum has a fully equipped multifunctional room that can be hired for events for up to 30 people.

Bolzano. The Centro Trevi-Trevilab offers a truly extraordinary opportunity to get closer to the fascinating, and in some ways still mysterious, Etruscan culture. It does so with the exhibition 'Etruscans. Artists and Craftsmen', promoted by the Autonomous Province of Bolzano, Italian Culture, thanks to the collaboration of the National Etruscan Museum of Villa Giulia, directed by Luana Toniolo, a museum that preserves the most important collection of Etruscan finds in the world. The exhibition, curated by Valentina Belfiore and Maria Paola Guidobaldi of the museum's curatorial team, is part of the second stage of the 'Stories of Art with Great Museums' event, a multi-year journey aimed at discovering the great ancient and modern civilisations, 'another fundamental step towards learning about our past with the aim of keeping interest in culture and the rich artistic heritage preserved in Italy's great museums alive,' emphasised Marco Galateo, Vice President of the Province and Councillor for Italian Culture.
The title 'Etruscans. Artists and Craftsmen' already introduces the particular slant of the Bolzano exhibition: it is not a generic exhibition on the Etruscans, but focuses on a specific aspect of their great civilisation, that of artistic and craft production.
Under the title AMONG THE INVISIBLE JOINS, Museion is exhibiting over 150 works by more than 80 artists from one of the most visionary and significant private collections of international contemporary art in Italy: the Enea Righi Collection. Thanks to a longstanding, trustful relationship, this collection has shaped Museion’s research into transdisciplinary, poetic, and socio-politically engaged artistic practices for over a decade.
It features a wide range of art works, architectural designs, and artists’ books by renowned international artists and collectives such as Massimo Bartolini, Alighiero Boetti, Anna Boghiguian, Trisha Donnelly, Theaster Gates, Nan Goldin, Marisa Merz, Sturtevant, Superstudio, Walid Raad, Franz Erhard Walther, Lawrence Weiner, Akram Zaatari, and many more. The exceptional nature of the exhibition is evident in the fact that it occupies the entire building and features the first showing of several recent acquisitions to the collection, including works by Sonia Boyce, Roni Horn, and Ser Serpas.
At the heart of the works in the Enea Righi Collection is the human being with all its hidden truths and emotions, its intimacy and relationships with others, its self-perception and its perception from the outside.
The title AMONG THE INVISIBLE JOINS is borrowed from the writing of Virginia Woolf, in which human life unfolds as a testament to its fluidity, brimming with potential and uncertainty. Her characters delicately hover between presence and impending absence, grappling with the memory of events and conflicts that prove elusive to full comprehension. The title therefore hints at the various thresholds between remembering and forgetting and the recurring acts of opening and closing doors on the continuous human journey of becoming. As such, the exhibition traces the intimate connections between life itself and the stories we tell, between what was and what remains physically perceptible. Above all, it highlights the collectors’ understanding of the transformative power of art by providing profound insights into life’s fluidity.
The works selected for AMONG THE INVISIBLE JOINS encourage viewers to ponder the transitional spaces of contemporary existence, where socio-political tensions intertwine with artistic expression. Throughout their artistic and sometimes activist work, artists such as Lisetta Carmi, Nan Goldin, and Zoe Leonard have emphasized the fluid nature of identity by regarding bodies as open systems in a permanent exchange with the environment. The works of Giulia Cenci, Jef Geys, Roman Ondak, Tarik Kiswanson and Bronwyn Katz are just a few examples of how doors, and windows recur in the exhibition as potent motifs that frame the human body as well as marking transitions and thresholds. Objects from daily life, urban architecture, and public décor – like Alex Ayed’s sculptures or Michael E. Smith or Massimo Bartolini’s installations – are relocated and reframed by the artists to compose new narratives and weave unexpected connections between geographies and memories.
Curated by Museion director Bart van der Heide, Frida Carazzato, Brita Köhler, and Leonie Radine, in collaboration with the collector Lorenzo Paini, the exhibition showcases a significant part of the Enea Righi Collection. Over the years, this collection has not only followed the artistic evolution of renowned conceptual positions, it has also embraced and supported a younger generation of artists. Another defining characteristic of the collection is its affinity for works of an institutional scale.

He is a brooder, a thinker, someone who critically questions blind faith in progress. When he rushes through the streets, restless but observant, he might already be envisioning his next project: a façade, a painting, a sundial to adorn a wall, or a family crest. Gottfried Stabler, however, became particularly well-known for the gold leaf technique that he developed himself.
