Alois Kostner da Pertan

 

As a boy he came from La Ila Val Badia to Urtijei where he learned the art of painting woodcarved statues (Fassmahler). He had a workshop with a few dozens of artisans and painted the huge wooden altars manufactured mainly by the family of his wife (Stuflesser da Petlin) and exported to the whole world.

Letters from America

 

copies of these letters were sent to me by Norbert Dejaco from Kentucky in the year 2001 after he contacted me on this family website. The letters were written from Luis Kostner my great-grandfather to Franz Dejaco his great-grandfather. They originated from the same valley (Val Badia) and were dear friends as you can read from these letters...
