SEPP111 – Opening
Saturday 04 Jul
Sesto
18:00 - 20:00
Yesterday, today, the day after tomorrow. A visionary leap through time.
What would good old Sepp say? Standing today at the foot of the Sexten Sundial and letting your gaze wander over the village, this question springs to mind. We are, of course, referring to Sepp Innerkofler: a legend among mountain guides, a pioneer and a figure whose name is inextricably linked to the ‘Pale’ of the Sesto Dolomites. 4 July 2026 marked the 111th anniversary of his death.
He fell during the First World War whilst defending his homeland; this is how he became famous. Here, however, we wish to present him as a visionary. What innovative ideas or solutions might Sepp have proposed for today’s challenges? How would he assess the dynamic between the masses of people and the modern need for relaxation in the mountains? And, consequently, the next question: what will Sexten look like in another 111 years?
The exhibition is therefore also an invitation to think beyond the present. Let us dare to take a leap through time together with Sepp. Between yesterday, today and a possible tomorrow.
