Le Savoir-faire - crafts for the senses

03 - 05 October 2025

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.
Behind the object is the person
The excellence of the products is characterised by a careful selection of independent artisans and manufacturers in the exclusive setting of the Renaissance castle in the heart of Bolzano. Characters and personalities who, despite their differences in background, profile and temperament, are united by a shared passion for the creation of rare and outstanding objects and products. Ceramic and glass artists, textile designers, hand weavers and goldsmiths, as well as winegrowers, distillers, chocolatiers, etc. They showcase their expertise in fashion, craftsmanship and design.

BZ '900

14 July - 30 December 2025

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.
