Marble Symposium Vinschgau
In addition to tried-and-tested offers and events, the new year’s program also includes new initiatives. “Schlanders Marketing” is involved, among other things, in organizing the first edition of a joint, international marble symposium, which the municipalities of Schlanders and Laas together with the self-administration of Laas and Göflan, the operators of the two marble quarries (Lasa Marmo GmbH and Göflaner Marmor GmbH), organized by the Schlanders-Laas Tourism Association and many other partners and supporters in the summer of 2024. The symposium lasts 3 weeks. Six international artists, among others, are expected in Lasa. A broad supporting program is already being worked on in both communities. According to Mayor Dieter Pinggera, the Vinschgau Marble Symposium is likely to be a highlight of the South Tyrolean event summer with international appeal. State Governor Arno Kompatscher took over the patronage. The symposium should not remain a flash in the pan. Pinggera: “It is already certain that after the first edition next year there will be a second symposium in 2026.” It remains to be seen whether a two-year rhythm can be maintained in the following years. Pinggera estimated the cost of the first symposium at around 250,000 euros.
