Are you a film and cinema enthusiast? Then we highly recommend a visit to Bolzano's southern industrial zone. There, somewhat hidden in the Via Johann Kravogl road, you'll find a small paradise for anyone passionate about theatre, cinema, television, and the related technology.
Natalino Bernato, a passionate cineaste and expert on South Tyrol's theatre and cinema scene, has fulfilled a dream here, amassing a collection of rare items - some still functional. The Bolzano Cinema Museum (Kinomuseum Bozen) presents objects from the beginnings of cinema in the 1920s to the present day, most with a regional connection. Behind every exhibit lies a story.
You can marvel at old projectors, discover editing and assembly equipment, and browse historical documents, posters, and documentaries. Lectures and castings are also held here. South Tyrol is a popular film location. The Val Senales with its glacier has served as a backdrop several times, for instance, in "The Dark Valley" with Sam Riley or "Everest" with Jake Gyllenhaal and Keira Knightley.
How to get there: The Bolzano Cinema Museum is located amidst workshops and office buildings in the southern industrial zone of Bolzano, part of the Oltrisarco-Aslago district. Parking is available, and citybus number 18 also stops nearby.
