On the Trail off the “Buckelkrämer“
Why is it that in some cities in Italy and Europe there are streets named after the Moroders, a typical Gardena surname? How did Gardeners come to be around the world and what did they do to deserve to be remembered? South Tyrolean historian Mirko Frainer transports us into the folds of local history and into the life of a valley-the Gardena Valley-whose ruggedness and inaccessibility ignited the ingenuity of its inhabitants, turning many of them into the so-called Buckelkrämer, the street vendors, who brought local handicrafts to be known and appreciated far beyond the borders of South Tyrol.
