Bozen
First the strange sensation of nothing looking like Italian, more like Germany or Switzerland.
Then our local friend’s explanation of the odd political history of town, and its German roots. Interesting and pleasant place.
Assumption of Our Lady
This cathedral is the most remarkable monument in Bolzano, combining Romanesque and Gothic styles.
Started in the 12Th century the Gothic look was given in the 14th, using reddish and yellow sandstone.
Doors, altars, pulpit, frescoes and the architecture itself are reasons to visit with time.
Alto Adige
Bolzano is located in the Dolomites, with easy access to the most beautiful places of Alto Adige.
The vines with the mountains in the background compose excellent landscapes, here and there enriched by man’s addictions.
I was there in a professional visit, but what I saw made me wish to go back, with a “tourist eye”.
I will!
Wine Route in South Tirol
Gourmets have an express attraction around Bolzano – the wine route.
The vineyards are visible from the highway, but this kind of tourism means… time, exactly what we missed, but, at least, we had time to taste a wine!
