Il Kursaal di <strong>Merano</strong><br />

Nel 2014, tra quattro anni, il Kursaal di <strong>Merano</strong><br />

compirà cento anni; l’ala ovest del complesso, corrispondente<br />

al vecchio Kursaal, risale a quarant‘anni<br />

prima (1874). Le sue splendide sale rimandano ad<br />

una fase storica di continui cambiamenti, tuttavia non<br />

smettono di essere il punto di ritrovo turistico, culturale<br />

e sociale della città di <strong>Merano</strong>.<br />

Un tempo vi si tenevano incontri ristretti di canto e<br />

pianoforte, si riunivano i circoli di lettura, ed era il<br />

luogo ideale per ospitare balli e feste d’élite. Oggi al<br />

centro della scena sono le Settimane Musicali Meranesi,<br />

o i vari convegni di caratura internazionale. I piccoli<br />

appuntamenti sono però rimasti di casa al kursaal<br />

per la sua capacità di trasformare qualsiasi evento in<br />

un‘esperienza indimenticabile. L’incanto della sua architettura<br />

ed il fascino particolare che pervade le sue<br />

storiche sale sono capaci di ammaliare chiunque.<br />

The Kursaal in <strong>Merano</strong><br />

In four years’ time, in 2014, the Kursaal in <strong>Merano</strong>/Meran<br />

will be celebrating its 100th birthday.<br />

The west wing of the building, however, which corresponds<br />

to the old Kursaal, dates back even further; to<br />

1874. Its magnificent rooms date back to a time in history<br />

of constant changes, yet these rooms still act as<br />

a meeting place for cultural, social and tourist events<br />

in <strong>Merano</strong>. In the past, meetings could be intimate<br />

gatherings to listen to singers or piano recitals, reading<br />

groups would meet there, but of course, it was<br />

also a perfect place to hold balls and parties for the<br />

high society of <strong>Merano</strong>. Nowadays, it is the setting<br />

for the <strong>Merano</strong> Music Weeks, or international conferences.<br />

Small gatherings, however, still occur because<br />

the Kursaal manages to transform any event, however<br />

small, into an unforgettable experience. Its splendid<br />

architecture and the amosphere that lingers from<br />

past events and occasions are elements that cannot<br />

fail to enthrall us all.
