Local Wines, Fine Delicacies, and Lively Music:
In autumn, Tramin Wine Lane is all about seasonal delights and sociable gatherings.
With the traditional Tramin Wine Lane, the people of Tramin celebrate the golden autumn and its treasures each year. On Saturday, October 18, 2025, visitors from near and far will once again flock to the festively decorated village lane, where all sorts of culinary delights from kitchen and cellar await tasting.
Here’s how it works:
After paying a €5 deposit, you’ll receive a beautiful glass bearing the Tramin coat of arms. With it, you can sample the finest wines from Tramin’s wineries at the various stands. The prices for individual wines are displayed at each stand.
The celebrations of the "Wine Alleyway", in the heart of the historic centre of Termeno which is open only to pedestrians, is an appointment not to be missed: the best Traminer wines will be offered in cups made for this very occasion along with special South Tyrolean delicacies in an atmosphere of music and folklore.
At the heart of Marius von Mayenburg's play is a mysterious painting: after their father's death, brothers Nicola and Philipp find a seemingly insignificant painting in the attic, signed “A. Hiller”. Or perhaps it says “A. Hitler”? That would almost be better, because its value would suddenly increase. Unfortunately, its provenance is unknown – and only with a verifiable provenance can a painting by Adolf Hitler be sold at a profit. While their Jewish sister-in-law fights hard to destroy it, Nicola and Philipp feverishly investigate their family history. Or perhaps... they invent a new one?
With sharp, biting jokes verging on cynicism, Marius von Mayenburg tackles thorny questions: is it really possible to separate the work from the artist? And to what extent do moral principles hold up when financial gain comes into play?

The Alessandro Casciaro Gallery is pleased to present A View of the Alps in the Lagoon, an exhibition dedicated to Paul Flora featuring a selection of his graphic works.
The exhibited pieces reflect the many conceptual connections between the Alps and Venice, paying tribute to Flora’s artistic legacy and his relationship with these places.
The result is an imaginary bridge that not only reveals the gallery’s identity—with locations in both Bolzano and Venice—but also draws a poetic and symbolic portrait of two regions that are, in appearance only, far apart.
Rooted in our region, this cooking event brings real South Tyrolean tradition to the stove. Typical dishes from traditional farm cuisine are prepared in a classic way and refined with modern touches. This makes the homemade creations simply “bsonders guat” (especially tasty).
Event Description
Participants can look forward to a 4-course menu made with local ingredients from South Tyrolean farms. Experienced chefs, well-versed in South Tyrolean cuisine, will guide you through a rustic culinary evening and provide fresh inspiration for (un)familiar dishes. Exciting tips and tricks await in the kitchen of the cooking school. You won’t just be watching – you’ll be cooking and tasting the dishes throughout the evening. Around the large communal table, the tavolata, your creations and perfectly paired wines will become the center of the night.

The Bear Has a Hard Time
October 16/17/18
A wide-awake story about being tired!
Autumn is almost over. With its wind, it tousles the trees once more, plucks the last brown leaves from the branches, and swirls them through the air. One of those leaves lands on the bear’s nose.
The bear is coming out of the forest with a heavy belly from eating—the last nuts and mushrooms. His legs are heavy too—so tired before hibernation.
Slowly he trudges to his bear cave. He’s looking forward to his soft hibernation bed. He will stretch out, yawn, and curl up. Then he will float lightly on it into the land of dreams.
It’s time. He plops down on his bed, stretches, yawns, and curls up. But what’s this? Something is poking and pinching! The bear shakes his bed. But nothing helps, no shaking or rattling!
He can’t sleep like this. And if he can’t sleep, he gets grumpy. What will happen next?

Twenty years after his death, the Office for Film and Media of the Autonomous Province of Bolzano, the "UMSt – Superintendence for Cultural Heritage and Activities" of the Autonomous Province of Trento, and the "Trento Film Festival" pay tribute to photographer Flavio Faganello with a joint exhibition. Hosted at the Merkantilmuseum in Bolzano, the exhibition features over one hundred of his impressive photographs and highlights the creative and artistic vision of the Trentino photographer, a vision closely linked to the practice of walking.
Even in his time, Faganello addressed themes that remain relevant today. His photos invite all lovers of walking, slow and sustainable tourism to rediscover the paths and communities of a bygone world. Faganello’s exceptional archive, now divided between his family, the Autonomous Province of Trento, and the Autonomous Province of Bolzano, comes together again in this exhibition. The selected photographs document the major ecological and anthropological changes in Trentino and South Tyrol during the years of the economic boom and tourism expansion.
The expressive images recall the close connection between the landscapes and the life of mountain farmers, their cultural heritage, and spirituality. Along the old paths with crosses, fences, votive shrines, and dry stone walls, Faganello captures the hard work, coexistence, and special relationship between people and sacred places. He documents rituals, customs, faith, and hopes of the pilgrims. By repeatedly returning to the same places and people, he manages, with his typical ironic style, to highlight the contradictions of the time, also addressing the issue of tourist invasion and environmental risks.
In South Tyrol, Faganello is best known for his book The Children of Solitude, in which he photographically documented the life of mountain farmers.
Free entrance.
Guided group tours (max. 15 people, duration approx. 30 minutes) are available by appointment:

A new perspective on ceramics at the Südtiroler Künstlerbund
With its extensive exhibition ‘Un - limited world CERAMICS’, the Südtiroler Künstlerbund focuses on clay as a material and demonstrates that ceramics are currently in vogue. Curators Eva Gratl, Eleonora Klauser Soldà and Lisa Trockner want to open up a new and conscious perspective on the multifaceted world of ceramics, a material that is receiving increasing attention in contemporary art and is used by renowned artists as a means of expression. The group exhibition reflects the enormous variety of clay as a material: its flexibility, the wealth of creative possibilities it offers, and even the technical limitations it imposes. In an innovative and varied way, the ceramics in this exhibition go far beyond craftsmanship and present themselves as a medium with great expressive potential, capable of unleashing immense creativity. Large sculptures, small objects, bold shapes, wall installations, poetic creations, formless, imaginative and playful works, lively in Baroque style, radically abstract, fragile, poetic – and not just vases and containers: the formal repertoire of the exhibition focuses on the expressive power of “free” ceramics and testifies to the fascination with a material that, thanks to its visual effects, dares to abandon tradition. In total, 20 artistic positions offer a glimpse of what hands can imprint on clay, of the forms that can be preserved.
The exhibition revisits various approaches and reflections on appropriation, artistic and monetary value, through a new commission by Jonathan Monk (UK, 1969). In Shine Bright Like a Diamond at Ar/Ge Kunst, one of the artist’s first institutional solo shows in Italy, Monk weaves together homage, parody, and (re)appropriation, engaging with the work of Chris Burden and the mechanisms of contemporary visual culture. Starting from a viral image of Kim Kardashian standing in front of Urban Light (2008), not crediting Burden’s work, the project reflects on the transformation of art into a reflective surface— a mute icon in a society dominated by image and the performance of the self. In an era where the simulacrum replaces reality, Monk sharply investigates the tensions between authenticity and representation, originality and reproduction.
Jonathan Monk was born in Leicester in 1969 and lives and works in Berlin. He holds a BFA from Leicester Polytechnic (1988) and an MFA from Glasgow School of Art (1991). He is currently exhibiting Limited Company at Belvedere 21, Vienna, Austria. Recent institutional solo exhibitions were S L at Mahler LeWitt Residency, Torre Bonomo, Spoleto, Italy (2024); Exhibit_Model Four at Kindl Berlin, Germany (2019); The Sound Of Laughter Isn't Necessarily Funny at The Gallery, at De Montford University Leicester, United Kingdom (2017); Exhibit Model One at Kunsthaus Baselland, Muttenz, Switzerland (2016); Anything by the Smiths at CAN Neuchâtel, Switzerland (2015); COLOURS SHAPES WORDS (pink, blue, square, circle) at CAC Malaga, Spain (2013); Rew - Shay Hood Project Part II, Artpace, San Antonio, Texas, USA (2009); Time Between Spaces at Palais de Tokyo and Musée d'Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris, France (2008). Upcoming: Something To See Something To Hide/Nothing To See Nothing To Hide at Museum Landskrona, Sweden.

The exhibition Violent Images examines pressing aspects and implications of the visual representation of violence. Violent images are part of our lives and shape how we perceive the world. They may directly represent violence, or their violent potential may be revealed in connection with their production, dissemination or use. Many questions arise: Where does the violence in and of the image begin? What makes an image violent? Who decides this, and in what context? How do production technologies and distribution channels influence the relationship between image and (the exercise of) violence? And how do artists deal with the issue of violence and the violent potential of image technologies?
The works in the exhibition Violent Images explore subtle rather than explicit forms of visual violence and their contexts, aiming to examine their cultural, social, and political impact. They resist immediate readability and full visibility, avoiding the risk of spectacularizing suffering or marginality. In different ways, they act as a counter-image—intentionally leaving productive gaps in visual narratives. They interrupt the often assumed neutrality of seeing, activating a space for doubt, thought, and the responsibility of looking. All the contributors critically examine both established and emerging visual concepts of violence, suggesting that our engagement with them is inherently political and more pressing than ever.
Talk & Book Launch: 28.10.2025, 6 p.m.
