Three friends from Merano who have known each other since school and have been making music together ever since.
As a trio, they perform acoustic versions of rock, blues, and folk songs – sometimes soft and emotional, sometimes full of drive and energy.
What unites them is their joy of making music together, and that’s exactly what they want to share with their audience.

Together we will create a special book, a collection of stories, fairy tales, desires, dreams and imagination: a project that springs from the imagination and takes shape in our hands. To begin with, we will briefly explore the anatomy of the book: we will understand how it is made, what it is composed of and what the fundamental elements of its structure are. We will then move on to the practical part, creating a classic French thread binding, and finally constructing a soft cover, rich in details and little surprises.

Was the Seceda “fish lizard” a dinosaur, a fish, or a marine reptile? And how is it possible that it was found at an altitude of 2,500 meters? These and other questions are answered by Claudia Urthaler and Sara Welponer in a children’s book that will be presented on November 29 at the South Tyrol Museum of Nature.

In 1968, Johann Comploj and Mainhard Strobl discovered the partial skeleton of an ancient marine creature on the Seceda in Val Gardena: a fish-like reptile, between six and ten meters long, with a mouth full of sharp teeth. After detailed scientific examination, researchers identified it as an ichthyosaur—a marine reptile that lived about 241 million years ago in the ancient Tethys Ocean, where it thrived for more than 100 million years. Today, the fossil is on display at the Gherdëina Museum in Ortisei.

Sara Welponer and Claudia Urthaler wrote a book about this remarkable find. The trilingual publication—in Ladin, German, and Italian—is titled “L’itiosaur de Secëda. Der Fischsaurier der Seceda. L’ittiosauro del Seceda” and will be presented on Saturday, November 29 at 3 p.m. at the South Tyrol Museum of Nature. Admission is free, but registration is required on the museum’s website at:
