Cademia' art school
Founded as a state-subsidised training workshop for wood carvers
In 1872, Ferdinand Demetz da Furdenan opened the first public training workshop for sculptors in Ortisei. The multi-storey building on the eastern edge of Ortisei was purchased by the local council in 1938 and the art school that had in the meantime moved out moved back in again. In 1999, a new construction was set up on the spot of the original Cademia building, which houses the art school today.
