Heritage Days: From one gravestone to another..., tours in Italian and German

Entitled ‘From Tomb to Tomb’, the event takes participants on a tour past the gravestones and monuments around the church and through the historic cemetery. Along the way, fascinating stories from the past come to life: participants gain an insight into the lives of notable figures who found their final resting place there, as well as into little-known chapters of Merano’s history.
