THE MUSEUM IN SESTO
This
museum in Sexten (Sesto) was opened in
1969. Its two exhibition halls contain primarily
sketches and drafts for numerous frescoes, as
well as studies, water colors, and graphic works
by the famed South Tyrolean artist Rudolf Stolz
(1874-1960). Among his main works are the 'Dance
of the Dead' in the Sexten cemetery and several
frescoes in its arcade. To pay tribute to the
artist's works, the community of Sexten built
a museum on the main square designed by his son-in-law,
the architect Erich Pattis. The artist's daughters
have made 160 of his works available for the exhibition.

Monastery Museum The
house in the shadows of the venerable collegiate church
of Innichen (San Candido) is one of the most ancient buildings
of the Upper Puster (Pusteria) Valley. It houses the museum,
archives, and library of the Innichen Monastery. The cathedral
treasury, sacred art from the church, and the manuscript
collection bear witness to the intellectual and spiritual
activity of the most ancient monastery in Tyrol. The precious
objects on display are primarily the work of local artists
that were commissioned by the canons or by wealthy citizens
of Innichen. |

Along
the paths you can admire old maso, little chapels and
alpine churches and, among these, two are certainly worth
a mention. They are the Church of the Redemptor in Ferrara/Schmieden,
built in 1735 upon the ruins of a previous chapel dated
1690 and famous for the ancient frescoes found during
a restoration in 1981, and the Parish Church of
St.Vito, first consecrated in 1355 and well known
for its wonderful vault and the neo-gothic altar. |
