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.

The shop is in Oberinn, a little village on the Ritten in a high of 1300m.

Renon's family of merchants is looking forward to your visit to the centre of Collalbo/Klobenstein.

The Plattner farm house in Wolfsgruben is more than 600 years old. The Gramm Family, a mercantile family from Bolzano, has carried out an exemplary restoration of it liaising closely with the provincial historic preservation agency and so, also because of its unique location, it is one of the most picturesque farmsteads in the region. Today it accommodates a bee-keeping museum that illustrates in a lively and vivid way the sweet art of making honey. The magnificent Plattnerhof is the largest private collection of South Tyrol’s beekeeping and it is also a monument of rural architecture and savoir vivre. A nature trail on the picturesque hill near to the house explains the world of bees to visitors.

The Plattner Bienenhof offers various products around bees and honey.

Traditional bakery, which has specialized in a wide range of "Schüttelbrot", black and brown bread. House pastry and fine italian coffee. 

Fruits and vegetables.
The building mainly consists in the sales room of the greengrocery and the flower shop plus the administrative spaces with stock, office, bath room and heating room. While the administrative spaces are located northwards, thus forming the backbone of the building, the sales room opens to the south.

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.

The tourist office is in the center of Collalbo. From the station Collalbo it is about 10 minutes to walk.

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.

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.
Stand-out traits
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.

He came with his family from Veneto to South Tyrol in the 1930s as
a small child. At first, they lived in San Candido, where the railwayman’s
father was punished because he was anti-fascist. So they soon
moved to Bolzano on Via Torino, where Renzo Facincani worked and
lived for a lifetime right next to the district optician shop he opened
in 1960. He had learned the trade at another well-known optician’s
who would have liked to hand over his shop to him. However,
Renzo wanted to open his own business and provide a service to
his neighbours. And that’s exactly what he did, stopping just shortly
before his death in 2020. He worked six days a week, and became
a household name as an expert optician as well as repairing and
adapting lenses. The store has been run since the year 2000 by
son Roberto Facincani, representing the second generation of the
family-run business.

The Despar Plattner is located slightly above the train station of Collalbo. There you will find all kinds of groceries. 

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.
