The blue Apron

A Symbol of South Tyrolean Tradition

A proverb from South Tyrol says that a man is not fully dressed until he wears his apron.

This royal blue apron is a distinctive piece of clothing, worn primarily by craftsmen and farmers in South Tyrol, and still plays an important role today. Originally, this "Firtig" was made with a bib of white linen, but in the 19th century, durable cotton was introduced, and the blue apron evolved into a symbol of the farming class. It was typically worn over a checkered shirt and was only replaced with traditional costume on special occasions.
Traditionally, a boy would receive his first apron on his first day of school, often decorated with an embroidered image or saying. A knee-length apron was a staple for every adult man, supporting him in his everyday work. At the end of the workday, the left corner of the apron was pulled forward and left to hang down, while the right corner was lifted and fastened at the back to signal the close of the day. Occasionally, the tip of the apron would peek out from under a jacket, even during church services. The way the apron was worn and tied varied from valley to valley, but it remains a practical piece of workwear even today, often repurposed as a carry sack, seed basket, or towel. Particularly in orchards or vineyards, the vivid blue of the apron can still frequently be seen amidst the rows of trees or vines.

Wenn die Temperaturen im Frühling unter 0 °C fallen, wird es ernst für die zarten Apfelblüten.🌸
Aber unsere Obstbauern sind vorbereitet! 💪🍏

💧 Mit Frostschutzberegnung überziehen sie die Blüten mit einer feinen Wasserschicht. Klingt ungewöhnlich? Funktioniert aber! Beim Gefrieren des Wassers wird Wärme freigesetzt – und genau diese schützt die Blüten! ✨ Manchmal werden auch kleine Feuerstellen 🔥 in den Obstgärten entzündet, um die kalte Luft zu vertreiben. 💨

Quando in primavera le temperature scendono sotto lo 0 °C, la situazione si fa delicata per i fragili fiori dei meli.🌸 Ma i nostri frutticoltori sono pronti! 💪🍏

💧 Con l'irrigazione antibrina, ricoprono i fiori con uno strato sottile d’acqua. Sembra strano? Ma funziona! Durante il congelamento dell’acqua viene rilasciato calore – ed è proprio questo calore che protegge i fiori! ✨ A volte vengono accesi anche dei piccoli fuochi 🔥 nei frutteti per scacciare l’aria fredda. 💨
