"Great is the power of memory that dwells in places." (from Cicero)

Adam and Eve with apple tree

Theresia Gruber, known as Tresl da Ulëta, bequeathed Museum Gherdëina a collection of terracotta figurines and ceramic works. Daughter of two artists, and an art teacher herself, she dealt with a variety of materials all her life and was a promoter of the Ladin language back in the 1930s. In 1970, when she was 73 years old, she set up a pottery school in Belém in Brazil.
