"I need a place where I can be alone with a forest nearby..."
Letter of Freud to Jung (February 1911).
And how did this link between the ideal place for Bolzano residents to go for a bit of 'Sommerfrische', or summer cool, and the genius tourist Sigmund Freud come about? In a letter dating February 1911, he reveals to Carl Gustav Jung «Next summer. I need a place where I can be alone with a forest nearby».
So, before Easter, on Friday, the 14th of April, he leaves Vienna in the company of his friend and pupil Sandor Ferenczi and makes a quick tour lasting just six days to find a suitable place around Trento and Bolzano. He returns to Vienna the following Thursday and his research produces excellent results in the form of Ritten/Renon near Bolzano. Consequently, on the 9th of July, Freud sets off from Karlsbad, where he was staying to recover from a bout of 'American colitis', and joins his family at Klobenstein. This is where the Freuds celebrate their silver wedding anniversary, on 14th September - the enjoyment of their holiday thus being enhanced by love and affection. During his holiday at Ritten/Renon begun Freud to write the work? Totem and taboo

The story of the battle between two not entirely respectable businessmen, the beggar clan king Peachum and the burglar king Macheath, known as Mackie Messer, was advertised as a ‘play with music’ at its premiere in 1928 and was essentially the first German-language musical. Bertolt Brecht wrote the text together with Elisabeth Hauptmann, while Kurt Weill composed the immortal music. The three of them achieved a legendary worldwide success. In the new version at the St. Pauli Theatre, the songs are brought back to the fore in all their force. And if you look around, not only in the small world of the neighbourhood, but also in the big world of politics, you realise that not much has changed since Brecht's analysis.
