Shops in Bolzano/Bozen

Located in Piazza delle Erbe / Obstplatz, right in the gastronomic heart of the city, Butcher's shop Egger pampers all meat lovers with tasted and genuine products.

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.

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.

In 1946, Emil Gutweniger opened the first toy shop in the historic Bozner Lauben in Bolzano. After 60 years under the Bozner Lauben, the new location was inaugurated in 2005 in Dr. Streiter Gasse, at the corner of Vintlergalerie. Today we are the first and largest shop in this gallery and also known as the shop with the slide.

 

Our shop has been run as a family business for 3 generations and about 14 employees support us in our work every day. We are happy to assist you with helpful tips and ideas, because we know what is important when it comes to play and can cater for different age groups. A personal conversation with us is sure to lead to a satisfactory result. We replace the search engine on the Internet for you and, in addition, you can touch the goods with us, partly also test them and take them away immediately.

We are the South Tyrolean fashion house for the whole family. Our family-run company, founded in 1962, has opened five branches: Bolzano, Merano, Bressanone and Brunico. Here you will find the best garments at unbeatable prices.
globus° today represents one of the leading fashion houses in South Tyrol. As a family-run business, we place special emphasis on courteous service, specialised advice and customer satisfaction: this is our hallmark and the goal we work towards every day.

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.

A success that has lasted for over 30 years! Traditional ice cream, fruit sorbets, and unique flavours have made Eccetera THE go-to ice cream parlour in Bolzano's city centre. During summer pick from over 40 flavours, made every day in our workshop using only select ingredients. Absolutely delicious gelato!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Back in the day, butchers would throw out whatever parts they
couldn’t use or sell into courtyards – but as the adage goes, somebody’s
trash is another’s treasure, and so chandlers would gleefully
collect those valuable ingredients to make their candles and soaps.
It made sense then for Josef Anton Thaler to open a soap workshop
in 1763 in the very same place where Thaler’s modern premises lie.
He was so successful he later went on to become a supplier of medical
goods to the court and a colonial warehouse and shop for the
local populations: local farmers would come into town to purchase
spices from the Middle East, among other items on display. In 1946,
the Schwienbacher family purchased the store. Hans Schwienbacher
was a far-sighted man who succeeded in creating a booming
business, set up a wholesale operation and then handed control
and oversight to his daughters Heidi and Veronika. The siblings are
still very much involved in running the company. At the turn of the
century, having a niche was seen as that extra special something –
in this case, exclusive perfumes, wellbeing and beauty routines, and
luxury design and furniture for the living areas. In 2012, the family
decided to expand their business and started dipping their toes in
the beverage and restaurant world.

This is an old and famous brewery in Bolzano Bozen, where you can taste and buy some special beers, such as "Batzen Hell" (blond beer, Vienna style), "Batzen Dunkel" (dark beer), "Batzen Weisse" (wheat beer), "Batzen Pils" and other kinds of beer.

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.

The success-filled story of one of South Tyrol's best-known companies sounds like a fairy tale. Once upon a time ... about 50 years ago, a married couple decided to turn their dreams into reality.
So began this fairy tale that, far from being over, shows us today a company that produces highly successful ceramic giftware, porcelain tableware and tiled stoves.

You cross the threshold in semi-darkness, turning your back on the traffic of the city, and suddenly there comes the surprise: you are in the Dolomites, among majestic peaks and green pastures. This is the magic of Panopticum, the entrance to the Thuniversum, with striking views of the beauties of South Tyrol projected on huge screens on the walls. After diving into nature, your eyes will be delighted by other beauties: the Thun creations, exhibited in the various rooms of the shop, range from table decorations to the celebration of the most special occasions such as weddings, anniversaries and Christmas. And don’t forget the hand-painted Limited Editions ceramic dedicated to THUNIVERSUM. This is a veritable explosion of colours, gentle curves and enveloping fragrances that guide you in discovering the many worlds of THUN.

Located in the heart of Bolzano, historical brand of menswear. Since 1995, the elegance of the garments, the quality of the fabric, eye to manifacture and detail, made Kiro’s a well appreciated point of reference for those who want to dress smart. Among the top products, shirts in custom fit and regular fit versions with sizes ranging from 38 to 46. Kiro’s shops are to be found in via die Portici 73 and in via Museo 38.

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.

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.

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.
