Resiutta's ice-house gallery
It was dug to obtain a depository where to refrigerate the beer. In 1844, in the Habsburg Resiutta, some entrepreneurs started to produce beer by using the excellent water of the stream Resia. Then, in 1881, the business grew with the plant of Francesco Dormisch.
Today, that heart of the mountain on the northeastern side of Mount Gravizze, where once people used to store the natural ice which accumulated in winter and was necessary to store the drink, has been brought to light again. A renovation and restoration work makes it possible to make a jump back in the past and visit the ice-house gallery in Resiutta, a fundamental element of the old brewery, which acquired special features in this environment.
The Ice-house Gallery can be visited, apply to the Resartico mine exhibition
