Vinschgau is the name of a mountain valley in South Tyrol, the northernmost province of Italy in the Alps, bordering on North Tyrol (Austria) and Switzerland (Grisons). In the summer of 2024 (as well as 2026), the communities of Laas and Schlanders will host an international, interdisciplinary sculpture project lasting three weeks entitled “Vinschgau crystalline”.
The special and unifying feature of these places is their world-famous marble. It is quarried underground in two quarries at an altitude of 1,570 m and 2,200 m in the Stilfser Joch National Park. This unique marble is characterised by its fine, crystalline texture and resistance. The first works made from the marble in this region date back to Roman times. The first industrial quarrying began as early as the 19th century.
