Esistono gli spiriti, i draghi, le streghe o il diavolo? Cosa sono i segni protettori? Quanto c’è di vero in una leggenda? Tuffatevi nel mondo mistico dei racconti leggendari provenienti dall’arco alpino durante una visita guidata della mostra «Il leggendario arco alpino». Scoprite da dove vengono le leggende, come sono state raccolte e quali sono i motivi ricorrenti e più importanti. Leggende come quelle di Guglielmo Tell, del miracoloso «ponte del Diavolo» o della vendicativa «Sennentuntschi» sono solo alcuni esempi del ricco bagaglio di racconti del «leggendario arco alpino».
La partecipazione è gratuita| I posti sono limitati.
Il link Zoom vi viene recapitato per e-mail dopo una valida registrazione.

Listening to them gives you the shivers.
Folk tales tell of extraordinary, supernatural, or miraculous incidents. They recount stories in which ghosts, witches, even the Devil himself feature, or they may deal with historical figures and events.
Traditional tales are known from all parts of the country, but central Switzerland is especially rich in them. The exhibition focuses on well-known legends such as the tales of William Tell, the miraculous “Devils Bridge”, the fateful “Black Spider”, the fiery “Pilatus Dragon”, the enchanted “Blüemlisalp”, the vengeful “Sennentuntschi”, and the spooky “Toggeli”.
