Shopping a Bolzano: Thun, vino e cioccolato

A must-visit stop is, for example, Thuniversum, the atelier-store of the famous artistic ceramics brand Thun, on via Galvani, where you can admire and purchase the pieces that made its history. From the sweet little praising angel, the host of the house, to the majolica stoves, from tea and coffee sets to small charming ornamental animals, up to the nativity scene figures: there is only an embarrassment of choice, and the pleasure of giving a welcome gift to others or yourself.
Another place not to be missed is Naturalia, at via Brennero 28, a large store of natural foods and cosmetics, which testifies to the South Tyroleans’ attention to organic products and body health, and their sense of responsibility towards nature. Inside, the foods and all other products are grouped rationally, from fruits and vegetables to personal hygiene and cosmetics, and for four-legged friends, there is no shortage of organic, healthy, tasty, and nutritious feed.
For sweet lovers, an absolutely unmissable stop is Chocolat Moschen, in Piazza Erbe, a small shop but with endless delights, starting from white, milk, or dark chocolate; from pralines, nougats, bon-bons, not to mention the attractive little bags, tins, and gift packages.
Another must are finally the wines and distilled spirits of South Tyrol, of which you can find a rich selection at Enoteca Gandolfi, in via Druso, with shelves full of reds, whites, rosés and pleasant tastings that help to discover the deep heroic culture of this land.
