Bolzano - Bozen (ePub)

Enrico Massetti wrote this book with 70 color images.

Bolzano - Bozen and its neighboring villages: San Genesio, Renon, Colle, Sarentino, Eggental, and Carezza, with its lake, are a unique and special place in Italy. "For me, Bolzano - Bozen is a mountain transformed into a city. The moment you move, it changes appearance. You edge forward, and the profile is different; you go back and discover new faces. It speaks different languages. At its heart, it is an actor, enchanting and contradictory, haughty an alluring, warm-hearted and chilly." - R. Messner.

At the crossroad of Culture:

Bolzano - Bozen is the only city globally with a competition in honor of F. Busoni and a house where Mozart slept. An elegant salon where different people meet and exchange cultures, music, and performances.

The central Piazza Walther was named for the troubadour Walther von der Vogelweide, one street named Dante, and another for Goethe: a conservatory carrying Monteverdi's name Orchestra of Haydn. Moreover, a trilingual University, an Academy of Design, and a Film School are bilingual: it's what makes Bolzano - Bozen a little significant capital of the European atmosphere!

The Gateway to the Dolomites

Above the city, in the Dolomites, lies the "Rosengarten"- the legendary realm of Laurin, the dwarf king. His enchanted garden glows an unearthly red at twilight. The present is a guide to the city and its neighboring villages: San Genesio, Renon, Colle, Sarentino, Eggental, and Carezza, with its lake.
