Aldino Local Museum

Aldino has several interesting sights, all looked after by the local museum association. These include the Aldino Mill Ensemble, the Redagno GEOMuseum (which complements the GEOPARC Bletterbach visitor centre in Aldino), and the small Aldino Village Museum.

It displays the 'Thalhof Treasure' and documents life in Aldino and the surrounding area over the centuries. In the 1980s, sacred Baroque and Rococo objects were discovered in the attic of the Thalhof farm. These items originally came from the Chapel of Our Lady of the Snow in Thal. Built and richly decorated in the 18th century by the Baron von Ehrenfeld family, this Aldino chapel's treasures are now on display in the local museum.

Valuable paintings, coins, and medals from private collections have also been part of the exhibition since 2000. They reflect the devotion of the local people and their faith in the protection of the saints. Alongside highlights such as a Baroque chalice (crafted in Augsburg in 1750) and Bolzano belt craftsmanship, you will also be introduced to notable figures from Aldino through portraits, including Johann Baptist Franzelin (1816-1886), South Tyrol's only cardinal.

How to get there? You can find the Aldino Local Museum right on the village square, where parking is also available. On foot, you can reach the village in about three hours via the Old Aldino Trail on the hike from Bronzolo to Aldino.
