ARTIFICES: THE CREATORS OF ART The exhibition “Artifices: The Creators of Art” is the third chapter of the long-term project “Stories of Art with the Great Museums”, promoted by the Department of Italian Culture of the Autonomous Province of Bolzano–South Tyrol in collaboration with major Italian museums. Created with the National Roman Museum, the exhibition explores the evolution of Roman artistic production from the Republican period to the late Empire. Through sculptures, inscriptions, and everyday artefacts, it reveals the world of artisans and workshops that shaped Rome’s material and cultural identity. Highlights include a group of fine sculptures from a late Republican villa, displayed in a setting that evokes an elegant Roman residence, and a replica of the Discobolus (Lancellotti type) from the Omero Tactile Museum in Ancona, in dialogue with the celebrated original at Palazzo Massimo.

Weekly market: market stands and benches with displaying fresh fruit and vegetables in season and different textiles and accessories.

Guest of the 17th Moontalk at the Luna Bar in the Parkhotel Mondschein in Bolzano is Anna Frabotta — journalist, lecturer, and entrepreneur with an unwavering passion for independent publishing. In 2019 she founded Frab’s Magazine & More, dedicating herself to spreading independent magazine culture in Italy and beyond. Her carefully curated catalogue now includes around a thousand international titles. She also teaches Fashion Publishing at the Istituto Europeo di Design in Milan. Since 2023, Anna has been the driving force and artistic director of Mag to Mag, the first and only European festival dedicated exclusively to magazines and journals. Since 2025, Mag to Mag has also become a print magazine focused on niche and periodical culture. And since 2024, Frab’s has expanded from an online shop into a physical space in Milan’s Porta Venezia district — a bright, open venue where magazines meet people and ideas, and where collaborations begin with partners from fashion and art, including Pitti Immagine, Aspesi, Golden Goose, Milano Design Week, Agorà Design Festival, and ArtVerona. In a conversation in Italian with Moreno Trisotto - communications expert, publishing connoisseur, and lover of design and literature - Anna Frabotta takes us into the universe of Frab’s Magazine & More, sharing the joys, challenges, and bold risks of independent publishing as an act of cultural resistance.

The photography of Chiara Bettazzi exists in a realm of proximity to the languages of sculpture and installation, sharing with them a vocabulary of everyday objects that shape her subjects. Initially conceived as a tool for observing and controlling the installation process, it later gained its own autonomy, engaging primarily with the register of still life. Her works are object-based compositions, first constructed on a horizontal plane – as vanitas or surrealist-inspired assemblages – and later overflowing beyond the table, finding other supports in found materials from the studio – ladders, screens, temporary structures – that trace precarious trajectories around which the cluster of objects takes on new sculptural forms. The photographic act captures ephemeral encounters between objects in a state of transience, destined to return to the anonymity of everyday life. It is a performative dimension of photography, especially when the artist reveals the gestures of arranging the objects, their accidental falls and displacements – standing on the threshold between composition and decomposition, scene and backstage, where the image continually reactivates the process, restoring to the object the possibility of a new, ever-changing form. Retroscena brings together a series of recent photographs featuring the recurring element of the ladder – an emblem of the scene’s construction – alongside a new installation that gives the exhibition its title. This site-specific work was created using backstage materials from Foto Forum’s storage, remnants of previous exhibitions. The installation unfolds longitudinally, cutting the space in half with an architectural surface made of openings and layers, becoming material traces of a sedimented time. Within this context, the artist invites the audience to move through the space and become part of the scene – observers and actors in a mirroring, dual environment, where front and back tend to coincide. In the folds of fabric and the fragments of objects, memory resurfaces as a visual archive, open to ongoing processes of excavation and refiguration. Chiara Bettazzi was born in Prato in 1977, where she lives and works. Her research explores a dual on the other, a poetics of the everyday object, oscillating between accumulation and discard. In 2015 she created an observatory on the recovery of industrial archaeology in the territory that takes the name Tuscan Art Industry, in collaboration with architectural historians, environmental biologists, artists, curators, and other professionals. Her photographs and installations reflect on transformation, developing in close relation to the industrial and urban landscape. Often site-specific, her works establish a strong dialogue with space and natural light. Her works are held in public and private collections including: La Galleria Nazionale d’Arte Moderna e Contemporanea (Rome), Casa Masaccio Centro per l’Arte Contemporanea, Collezione Farnesina, Museo di Santa Maria della Scala, Castello di Ama, and Villa Rospigliosi. Selected exhibitions include: BIENALSUR, Museo di Roma a Palazzo Braschi (2025); Panneggi, Lottozero, Prato (2025); Colorescenze, Centro Pecci, Prato (2024); Recap, Z2o Project, Rome (2024); The Tilt of Time, IED, Florence (2023); Reverse, Tenuta Dello Scompiglio, Lucca (2023); Standby.

If women don’t become mothers and mothers can’t cope – a performance by Julia Jenewein

Motherhood is political. And so is the choice not to become a mother. From “It’ll happen sooner or later” to “You’ll regret it,” childless women or those who don’t intend to have children are often judged, while the “maternal instinct” is idealized and motherhood romanticized. With the most personal and intimate decision of their lives, women inevitably find themselves under public scrutiny, often losing their own voice. But what is motherhood really like? And what happens when one regrets becoming a mother? When one cannot become a mother, or when the biological clock doesn’t start ticking?

In this performance, two women openly confront all the (often taboo) issues surrounding reproduction and the ability to give life: from mental load to “regretting motherhood,” from pregnancy (and abortion) to birth culture. An intense and provocative evening that explores everything arising from the “question of all questions”: the one about children.

Event: Wednesday, December 3, 2025, at Piccolo Teatro Carambolage, starting at 8:00 PM.

The exhibition “Kaufmannsgesichter” is based on an excerpt from Johann Wolfgang von Goethe’s diary about his journey to Italy. The poet arrived in Bolzano in September 1786, at a time when one of the four major international fairs was taking place. The lively bustle of the city and the faces of the merchants—radiating prosperity and self-confidence—made a strong impression on him.

The exhibition presents the portraits of merchants who, at the turn of the 18th to the 19th century, played a decisive role in Bolzano’s development into a wealthy trading city and who were personally involved in the activities of the Mercantile Magistrate. The works, on loan from public institutions and private collectors, depict men in authoritative poses, holding correspondence, account books, or professional objects. They are often accompanied by portraits of their wives, who belonged to the new merchant aristocracy and who, through their dowries, wealth, and prestigious residences, significantly contributed to the rise of their family businesses. Several objects connected to acts of patronage, donated by the merchants on special occasions, are also presented.

Most of these portraits—created by notable artists of the period such as Carl Henrici, Martin Knoller, Giuseppe Tominz, and Friedrich Wasmann—originally hung in the private homes of the commissioners or in their business premises and offices. They are unique original works that bear witness to the golden age of Bolzano as a trading city and to the development of its local society.

Free entry, registration required.
