What happens at Mareccio Castle

It is an invitation to immerse yourself in the world of ‘savoir-faire’. These trades are characterised by a meticulous search for precision. The passion for outstanding workmanship can be experienced through the senses: Marvelling, grasping, tasting and smelling. The combination of a sense of innovation and art, as well as respect for the great cultural heritage, is expressed in the perfection of a savoir-faire that can only be mastered by the human hand.

Summer concert of plectrum music in the beautiful setting of Maretsch Castle

The orchestra, conducted by Ugo Orrigo and the only plectrum orchestra in the Euregio Tyrol-South Tyrol-Trentino, will offer a programme that draws on the tradition of the plectrum orchestra, including original music and transcriptions together with some new repertoire that intends to combine the mandolin as a multifaceted instrument, crossing the different musical seasons up to pieces by contemporary composers in a musical journey rich in colouring, styles and emotions.

Free entrance.

The modern practice of sending postcards dates back to 1865. They were first introduced by a German post office director who recognised that modern communication habits required a faster and more simple medium than traditional letter writing. The first postcard sent in Austria was posted in 1869, and from then until the advent of the SMS and social networking, postcards were commonly used to allow travellers to send home a few lines describing a holiday or a visit to an interesting place. Postcards, which, at first, were just made of plain card, soon developed into the colourful illustrated format and were sometimes even designed by famous artists. The Gaetano Sessa collection includes around 2000 postcards. The collection is invaluable in allowing us to catch a glimpse of everyday life in Bolzano in a bygone age.
