Maciaconi

Around 1870, Alois (Levisc) Riffesser founded one of the first export businesses for wooden toys and souvenirs at Plan da Tieja. In 1877, he built the several-storey-high Maciaconi building as his home and company premises with shop, which was even mentioned in a poem by Leo Runggaldier about a rattling wooden toy. The building itself and Dossesplatz square became a popular motif for engravings and historical picture postcards.
