South Tyrolean Museum of Fruit-Growing

Covering a total of 18,500 hectares, South Tyrol forms Europe’s largest contiguous fruit-growing area. Six billion apples are produced here every year. For many centuries apple trees were planted around the farmsteads to provide for farming families. The construction of the railway line over the Brenner Pass and straightening of the river with reclamation of the floodplains boosted apple exports. The first fruit co-operatives appeared at the end of the 19th century and with them began marketing on a commercial scale.

Lana is the largest and at the same time one of South Tyrol’s oldest fruit-growing municipalities and thus the siting of a museum here on the theme of fruit-growing was practically a foregone conclusion.
