ANDRÉ VON LINSENGERICHT: "MEIN BRÜDER-GRIMM-MÄRCHENZAUN - EINE HOMMAGE AN BURKHARD KLING How 49 quotes from the Brothers Grimm ended up on a fairytale fence .... Fairy tales are so much more than just stories to be read aloud. They invite you to immerse yourself in experiences and traditions, in history and stories. The fairy tale fence of Linsengericht features 49 short quotations from well-known and lesser-known fairy tales by the Brothers Grimm. This special perspective on the fairy tales is artistically realised in the book through the extraordinary illustrations of the fairy tales. Who has ever put themselves in the rooster's shoes and wondered how he sees the cat, dog and donkey from up there? A philosophically entertaining book to immerse yourself in the world of the Brothers Grimm - and to remember Burkhard Kling. Compiled and philosophically analysed by André von Linsengericht. Diana Distler emphasises the change of perspective with her extraordinary illustrations.

MASSIMO MONTANARI: "AMARO, UN GUSTO ITALIANO" From radicchio to artichokes, from coffee to digestives: bitterness plays a privileged role in the taste of Italians. No other European cuisine has such a marked predilection for that flavour. This distinctive trait has distant origins and is rooted in the encounter between peasant and high culture. The organs of taste are the tongue and the brain. The former senses flavours, the latter evaluates them. The mechanism is not only biological, but also and above all cultural: it is a matter of habit, learning, and judgement. So, if we ask ourselves why the taste sensitivity of Italians is so attracted to bitter, the explanation is not to be found in genetics but in history. One of the greatest food historians explains it to us, delving into literary sources and treatises on botany, agriculture, cooking, dietetics. A surprising itinerary that brings into focus a fascinating and characteristic aspect of Italian culture.

The Niederjoch Tuifl from the Schnalstal Valley will wreak havoc again this year in the ski resort and the ski huts. Their hut tour begins on Suturday, 8 December 2022, at 10 am. Performance at 17:00 at the central place in Maso Corto. The “Tuifl” or maybe “Krampus”: He terrifies and fascinates in equal measure, and is just as much part of the Catholic / pagan tradition as is, for example, the Christ Child. The basic role of Krampus is similar to that of Knecht Ruprecht, who accompanies St. Nicolas on 6 December when he visits families and, waving his Birch rod, threatens to punish naughty children while he is there. However, while Knecht Ruprecht never became culturally significant in his own right, Krampus can look back over a long tradition, which is now being revived thanks to the commitment of an increasing number of local heritage groups. Horns, a thick coat, long claws on his hands and a large, loud bell worn around his waist are some of the striking features of Krampus. Source: Sparifankerl Pass, Munich

Like the cheese on the maccheroni, like the butter on the Schlutzkrapfen, like the cinnamon in the mulled wine, the Cababoz cabaret group belongs in the Carambolage at Christmas! But beware of the allergens: You could be in for a mixture of fits of laughter and diaphragmatic shock. Spoiler: The members of Cababoz won't make you laugh as much as the just-ended election campaign, but they will endeavour to be funnier than the new state government - even if it won't be easy. And for heaven's sake, don't hold anything against them. It's just cabaret!
