Totentanz #1

Today I begin with a new series of murals, painted by the South Tyrolean Artist Luis Stefan Stecher.

In 2001 he painted on the wall of the Church "St. Ulrich" in Plaus the "Totentanz-Zyklus" (death dance-cycle), provided with rhymes in South Tyrolean dialect.











This series continues next Monday with post #2/12...

The Province of Bolzano-Bozen, also referred to as Alto Adige or South Tyrol, (also spelled South Tirol), is an autonomous province in northern Italy. It is one of the two provinces that make up the region of Trentino-Alto Adige/Südtirol, which is itself an autonomous region. The province has an area of 7,400 square kilometres (2,857 sq mi) and a total population of more than 500,000 inhabitants. Its capital is the city of Bolzano (German: Bozen; Ladin: Balsan or Bulsan). The majority of the population speaks an Austro-Bavarian dialect of German and consider themselves ethnically Tyrolean. About a quarter of the province is Italian-speaking and a small minority speaks Ladin as their mother language. Font: Wikipedia
