Journey into the dramatic landscapes of the Dolomites with its enchanting castles and charming towns, such as its capital, Bolzano. Wood is the primary ingredient of Judith Sotriffer's and Aron Demetz's art. Judith keeps tradition alive through her wooden dolls, while Aron represents innovation and modernity with his creations. Alessandra visits two medieval castles, valuable testimony to the local history and culture. The Diocesan Museum of Bressanone is a precious example of the regional art and architecture. An exploration of Alto Adige's culinary gems includes tasting the creative and delicious sheep's recipes of chef, Oskar Messner, in the breathtaking and unspoiled Funes Valley and explores another family's innovative approach to gin made with local herbs.
