The contents o this publication are enclosed by two diferent interpretations o the sun. The ront cover illustrates a contemporary version by the sculptor Fausto Melotti o Rovereto, one o the leading avantgarde artists o the 20 th century. The back cover shows a medieval version with the Ciclo dei Mesi rescoed on the walls o the Torre dell’Aquila at Castello del Buonconsiglio in Trento. This sun accompanies the history, art and culture o Trentino spanning eight centuries, combining tradition with innovation.

Cultural events in Trentino are an exciting, unique way to experience all the un o cherished adventures in natural settings, authentic experiences in the heart o the Dolomites, in woods, at the lakeside, in the historic centres o towns or villages steeped in history and tradition, and in modern museums open to world cultures. Art, ideas, music, words, memories and meetings. In Trentino the body and spirit are both revitalized. Holidaying and good living become an art.

is not just the splendid view o the 40metre diameter glass dome or the appeal o temporary art exhibitions o international standing. What makes tens o thousands o visitors return, once again, to Rovereto every year to visit the Mart, one o the leading museums o modern and contemporary art in Italy, is mainly its huge changing collection o 20 th century art, in which only transormation is permanent. Likewise, the museums o the Trento region, enhanced every year by temporary exhibitions, ofer so much that you will not get bored. These museums include Castello del Buonconsiglio in Trento, with its rich permanent collection that ranges rom ancient times to the 19 th century. Then there is the Museo degli Usi e Costumi della Gente Trentina , housed in the Augustinian provostry, dating back to 1145, at San Michele all’Adige, which ofers a journey through the olk traditions o Trentino. The Museo Diocesano Tridentino at Palazzo Pretorio has wideranging sections dedicated to paintings by local artists, wooden sculptures, vestments, Flemish tapestries, and the Council o Trent. While awaiting the grand opening in mid2013 o the Muse, the new science museum o Trento designed by Renzo Piano, the Museo delle Scienze runs a string o science museums in the Trento region including the Museo dell’Aeronautica Gianni Caproni , the oldest aeronautical museum in the world. In Rovereto, the war museum Museo Storico Italiano della Guerra ofers a rich collection with ew equals, particularly concerning World War I, whereas the Museo Civico hosts an extensive section on astronomy and robotics, among other things. The Gallerie di Piedicastello , the road tunnels o Trento until a ew years ago, are now large exhibition areas run by the Fondazione Museo Storico del Trentino mainly dedicated to historical retrospectives, whereas Torre Vanga houses small but prestigious exhibitions on Trentino art, rom the medieval period to the 14 th century. Finally, there is the MAG, Museo Alto Garda, housed in the 13 th century bastion Rocca, which not only ofers an extensive archaeological section with splendid unerary statues o the Copper Age but also a rich art gallery and a section on history.

From 25 February to 3 June, the season o the great exhibitions at the sovversione ione Mart in Rovereto opens with Postmodernismo. Stile e sovvers 1970-1990 (Postmodernism. Style and subversion 1970 – 1990) , a new prestigious collaboration set up with the Victoria and Albert Museum o London. From the videos o Grace Jones and the Sex Pistols to design objects created by Ettore Sottsass and his Memphis collection, this exhibition explores a style that rst emerged in architectural culture, and then spread rom the early Seventies to a broader cultural context, inuencing the cinema, ashion and important revolutions in music and youth culture. At the same time at the Mart, there is Alice in Wonderland , an exhibition coproduced with the Tate Liverpool gallery, which shows how much this work and its illustrations by Lewis Carroll have inuenced contemporary artistic culture, including paintings by Surrealists, pop art artists such as Peter Blake, and protagonists o contemporary art such as Sigmar Polke and Kiki Smith. From 17 March to 8 July, the Mart also ofers two major exhibitions. The rst is Aro. Il periodo americano (Aro. The American period), in the centenary o the birth o this artist, is an exhibition that brings together the artist’s works during his most productive period, spent in the United States rom 1949 to 1958. The paintings on show, many exhibited in Europe or the rst time, are rom leading American museums. The second exhibition is Gina Pane, a retrospective exhibition o works that presents the entire artistic career o a undamental protagonist in the Body Art eld, with installations, drawings, videos, photographs and objects used in her legendary “actions”. From 23 June to 9 September, Willi Baumeister will be held , the rst solo exhibition in Italy dedicated to Willi Baumeister, a great master o abstract art in the Thirties, in collaboration with the Fundación  Juan March March in Barcelona, Barcelona, the Kunstmuseu Kunstmuseum m in Winterthur Winterthur and Willi Baumeister Stitung GmbH. From 22 September to 13 January, another highly interesting exhibition will be held at the Mart by Lea Vergine: Fin de Race. Tra avanguardia e decadenza (Fin decadenza (Fin de Race. Avant-garde and decay) , which illustrates about a 100 paintings, sculptures, design objects, books and original documents o the cultural circle that in the early 20th century centred on the charismatic gure o Virginia Wool. The Mart in Rovereto is also the Casa d’Arte Futurista Depero, the only Futurist museum in Italy, which this year, rom 31 March to 2 September will hold an exhibition on the experience o Fortunato Depero, Depero 1912 . The protagonist o this small and precious exhibition is a photograph album o the Val di Fiemme illustrated by Fortunato Depero, ound in 2009 in the archives o the Touring Club. Presenting a series o drawings, watercolours and photographs, the exhibition provides an opportunity or reection, ollowing the stages in the work o this artist rom Rovereto, in the early years leading up to the great Futurist adventure.

From Rovereto to Trento and rom the Mart to Castello del Buonconsiglio, the castle that not only houses the splendid rescoes o the Ciclo dei Mesi (Cycle o the Months) but also a collection o art and archaeology dating rom ancient times to the mid19 th century, illustrating the historic and artistic events o the town and the local area. In addition to the archaeological section, it has an important medieval section with the silver reliquary o Saint Apollinaris dating to the 6th or 7th century century,, and a section displaying Renaissance bronze statues and medals. It also has some beautiul 14 th 17th century wooden statues, including small Romanesque Virgin Marys o Trentino, elegant, Bohemian and Swabian inspired Late Gothic Virgin Marys, the Annunciation by Mafeo Olivieri, as well as works by Jorg Atz and Narciso o Bolzano. Furthermore, every year Castello C astello del Buonconsiglio hosts an important exhibition. From 23 June to 18 November 2012, I  cavalieri dell’imperatore. Duello e guerra nelle armerie rinascimentali  (The Emperor’s Knights. Duels and war in Renaissance armouries)

will be on show, based on the most complete collection in the world o battle and parade weapons and armour rom the Arsenal o Graz, G raz, handorged by master blacksmiths in the Renaissance period. There are two exhibition venues: Castel Beseno with a section dedicated to weapons or battle, siege and military strategies, which already has a rich collection o weapons and armour, and Castello del Buonconsiglio, which develops the theme o the tournament, portrayed in the month o February in the Ciclo dei Mesi at Torre Aquila. During the Renaissance period, a tournament actually took place at Castello del Buonconsiglio at the time o the visit by Philip o Spain, according to a historical account, which was also attended by people disguised as Turks, with celebrations in honour o the sovereign. In addition to the epic dimension o battle and the ideal o the heroic knight and courtly love, one o the themes o the exhibition, which also displays Turkish Turkish masks, is the encounter o diferent civilizations. Another museum, which also eatures a highly popular permanent collection and organises exhibitions o great interest every year is the ethnographic Museo degli Usi e Costumi della Gente Trentina. This year until 1 April you can visit the exhibition organised by the Centro Studi Martini, La Generazione dei Giganti which ofers a vast collection o objects and iconographic materials that illustrate the lie o Jesuit missionaries, the protagonists o evangelization and cultural exchanges with China. Then rom 20 April to 25 November, Le scritte dei pastori della Val di Fiemme (The writings o the shepherds o the Val di Fiemme) will be held, which includes the results o important

research by this museum on the grati o the people o the Val di Fiemme since the 17 th century. This complex work required eldwork, excavation, classiying, analysing and interpreting thousands o grati painted on rocky crags, at altitudes rom 1,200 to 2,000 metres, using a special local pigment known as “bòl”.

The countdown has started to the opening o the Muse, the new science museum o Trentino designed by Renzo Piano: it is scheduled or June 2013. In his design project, this leading architect has included the philosophy o Trentino “ glocal” : act locally, think globally. In the building, still under construction, a horizontal dimension, with its global coverage, and a vertical dimension, with its alpine connections, harmoniously exist. In addition, the highest part o the Muse will be dedicated to the mountains also using 3D and interactive technologies in immersive caves: visitors will nd themselves projected into a reezing atmosphere at 3,000 metres. They will be able to experience skiing along the snowcovered slopes just like an extreme skier or hovering on rock aces in a paraglider. This hitech dimension will accompany a more traditional one, with a strong educational eature intended to make visitors to the museum more aware: e.g. i woods are not managed correctly, rain in the mountains may cause disasters. Pending the opening o the new Muse in 2013, the Museo delle Scienze is still busy: on 14 September a highly interesting exhibition will open at its main premises in Via Calepina entitled Homo Sapiens. La Grande storia de lla diversità umana (Homo Sapiens. The great  history o human diversity ). ). Starting with the birth o the genus Homo, the invention o agriculture and human migration that precedes historic periods, the exhibition ollows the theme o human displacement and mobility in an unstable and ragmented ecological area. Another treasure o a museum in Trentino, under the direction o the Museo delle Scienze, is the Museo dell’Aeronautica Gianni Caproni , the oldest aeronautical museum in the world, ounded in 1927 by the Caproni amily. What impresses visitors, not only aeronautical enthusiasts, is the large number o aeroplanes. At least 20 are on show in a collection o 57, as well as documents, relics, works o art dedicated to ight by artists including Luigi Bonazza, Fortunato Depero, Giacomo Balla, Mario Sironi, Tato and Alredo Ambrosi. The aeroplanes on show, each one more beautiul than the other, include the Ansaldo SVA 5, which took part in a demonstration ight over Vienna on 9 August 1918, with its camouaged bodywork intact, the Ansaldo A1 also dating back to 1918, as well as diferent models o Caproni starting with the Ca 6 o 1911. Other branches o the Museo delle Scienze include the Giardino Botanico Alpino Viote di Monte Bondone, the Osservatorio Astronomico Terrazza delle Stelle, the limnological station at Lago di Tovel , the Centro Preistoria Marcesina , the Museo geologico delle Dolomiti in Predazzo and the Museo delle Palaftte del lago di Ledro. The piledwelling theme has been very popular since the prehistoric settlements o Ledro and Fiavé also became UNESCO World Heritage Sites. At the latter site, the Museo delle Palaftte di Fiavé will be inaugurated on 14 April. In the scientic eld, the Museo Civico di Rovereto ofers children the chance to learn through play with the assistance o Lego robotic kits. On the rst Saturday o the month, at the LEIS (Lego Education Innovation Studio) guided activities are organised or children aged

The Museo Civico has also created a citadel o scientic research and experimental learning at the Bosco della Città, a public area near the town centre, with outdoor and indoor areas or experimental archaeology, ethology, botany and nature activities. From science to sacred art: the Museo Diocesano Tridentino in the prestigious building o Palazzo Pretorio, the residence o the Prince Bishops o Trento in the Middle Ages situated next to the Cathedral o San Vigilio, has a rich collection that illustrates the artistic and religious history o the bishopric. Sections o special interest include paintings by local artists rom the Medieval to the Neoclassic period, wooden sculptures o the Late Gothic period and carving workshops o the 15 th–16th century, liturgical vestments rom the Cathedral and churches o the diocese, Flemish tapestries purchased in Antwerp in 1531 by the Prince Bishop Bernardo Clesio, as well as iconographic evidence o the Council o Trent.

The exhibition will

ocus on the visual stereotypes that Western Christianity employed to portray religious otherness. The Gallerie di Piedicastello run by the Fondazione Museo Storico del Trentino in Trento are o special interest. In 2007, the opening o two new tunnels led to the closure o the two tunnels to trac, that crossed the district o Piedicastello. Today, ater the completion o adaptation works, the two tunnels, in black and white, have become a popular exhibition area, mainly hosting historical exhibitions.

T

hree ladies and three gentlemen are having a snowball ght in ront o a castle. In the background, several aristocrats are courting their loved ones in a owerlled meadow outside the town walls. Not ar away, grape harvesting is in ull swing, grapes are being pressed and a gentleman is tasting grape juice. At Castello del Buonconsiglio in Trento, the Ciclo dei mesi in the Torre Aquila, is a series o rescoes that is not only one o the great masterpieces o medieval art but also a 3Dtime machine that leads to the colourul heart o court and country lie at the end o the 14 th century, depicting work in the elds, tournaments and declarations o love. In short, it is a worthy passport to the 300 plus castles in Trentino, the key to a historic and cultural heritage but also a starting point or discovering the nature and villages o Trentino. For example, privately owned Castel Toblino, whose harmonious Renaissance architecture is reected, rom a small peninsula, in the lake o the same name, which has been adored by generations o romantic visitors on their way to Lake Garda, 30 kilometres to the south. Along the path leading to the lake stands Castel Drena, a medieval ortress with a crenellated tower almost 30 metres high, which overlooks the Marocche area with its large rocks. Then there is Castello di Arco, above the Valle del Sarca, with its 14th century rescoed hall, depicting ladies playing chess. The Trentino region has so many castles that they suit all tastes. The impressive ortication o Castel Beseno, which guarded the Vallagarina between Rovereto and Trento, is irresistible or those who are looking or castles with the charm o the ancient art o war, still imbued with a heroic dimension. Castel Thun ascinates visitors who want to know what is inside its mighty walls: inhabited until 1992 by the Thun amily, one o the oldest noble amilies o Trentino, it still houses original and precious art collections. Trentino has over 300 castles, ortresses and ortied sites. The autonomous Province o Trento intends to ully highlight this extraordinary heritage, as a driving orce to promote the local area. Five themed areas have been identied, whose castles share a similar historical context. Inside each area, these ortications can become the stages o a tour to ollow on one or more days. This important historiccultural project includes an original and attractive proposal or everyone, since tours can be combined with many other local attractions: trekking, thermal spas, concerts, discovering parts o Trentino, which are lesser known but no less ascinating.

In the Vallagarina the chosen theme is La suggestione del Medioevo Medioevo,, tra amor cortese, battaglie ed eresie (The appeal o the Middle Ages: courtly love, battles and heresies ). ). Castel Beseno is at the heart o the area. It is the largest ortied complex in Trentino, a mighty ortress o Medieval origin with Renaissance architecture. The atmosphere at Castel Beseno is similar to that o Il mestiere delle armi (The Proession o Arms ), ), a lm directed by Ermanno Olmi, eaturing helmets, breastplates and memories o epic battles. In the 14th century Palazzo di Marcabruno, a permanent exhibition is on show, with reconstructions, video ootage and models o the battle o Calliano o 1487, which saw the rst success o the earsome Landsknecht mercenaries in a battle on Italian soil. This exhibition o original weapons and aithul copies ocuses on... “Please touch”: everyone is invited to try on and handle helmets and armour, to the delight o children (and athers). Another stop in the Vallagarina is Castello di Rovereto , which hosts the prestigious war museum Museo Storico Italiano della Guerra . Built in the 14 th century by the Castelbarco, eudal lords o the Vallagarina, it was later altered by the Venetians who occupied it in 1416. Still on the theme o courtly love and medieval battles, there are the 14 th century rescoes o Castello di Avio, also known as Sabbionara ater the hamlet below the castle. It was built in the 11 th century and surrounded by crenellated walls built between the 13 th  14th century. The Camera dell’amore (Room o love), eatures a highly appealing allegory, portraying a man stabbed in the heart by a spear, a lady with a small dog, a symbol o loyalty, and blindolded Love carrying a bow and arrows. On the walls o the Casa delle guardie (Guard House), the theme is war, with scenes rom a battle, in which the Castelbarco noble amily are depicted as the winners.

In the Trento area, the castle theme ocuses on the Prince-Bishopric , particularly on Castello del Buonconsiglio, a monument o extraordinary historicartistic value not only or its Ciclo dei Mesi rescoes in the Torre Aquila, residence o the Prince Bishops o Trento up to 1803. The oldest part o the castle is Castelvecchio, which dates back to the early 13 th century, with its crenellated Augusto tower and its açade with an elegant 15 th century Venetian loggia. The Sala dei Vescovi is on the same oor as the loggia, with rescoes that portray all the Prince Bishops since the year one thousand. The Magno Palazzo, instead, was built in the 16 th century, just like the boundary wall in the direction o the town. The rescoes in the Sala Grande, depicting caryatids and putti, are the work o Dosso and Battista Dossi, whereas the rescoes o the Loggia del Cortile dei Leoni, illustrating mythological and biblical scenes, are by Gerolamo Romanino. The Giunta Albertiana was built in the late 17 th century. This building connects Castelvecchio to the Magno Palazzo, echoing the style o the latter. Every year, Castello del Buonconsiglio is the scene o a major exhibition. From 23 June to 18 November 2012, the exhibition will be entitled I cavalieri dell’Imperatore. Duello e guerra  nelle armerie rinasciment rinascimentali  ali (The (The Emperor’s knights. Duels and war  in the Renaissanc Renaissance e armouries) , and divided into two sections. One

section will be about duels, inspired by the tournament scene in the Ciclo dei Mesi resco at Castello del Buonconsiglio, whereas the other will be housed in Castel Beseno and will ocus on battle weapons. In the area that includes the Val di Non and the Val di Sole, the theme chosen to characterise the castles is La nobiltà rurale nei castelli delle Alpi (The Alpi  (The rural nobility in the castles o the Alps) . The leading venue is Castel Thun, the residence o perhaps the oldest noble amily in Trentino, documented as early as 1050, which saw our Prince Bishops rom 17th  18th century. The castle, just like the amily, gets its name rom Ton, the village in the lower Valle di Non. What makes a tour o the mansion, surrounded by a large garden and deended by towers, ramparts and moats, so ascinating is the act that the Thun amily lived there until 1992. Consequently, the castle still has its original urnishings, a rich art gallery, a copious library with thousands o books, and valuable art collections. The Stanza del Vescovo (Bishop’s Room), where Prince Bishop Sigismondo Alonso slept, has a wooden ceiling with his coat o arms in the middle, a ourposter bed adorned with red damask, and urnishings that include wood panelling and a precious inlaid door. But the portraits o the Prince Bishops, the silverware, china, glasses, carriages, and even the nely urnished kitchen, all contribute to creating the atmosphere o the prosperous lie o the rural gentry.

The theme o the area that includes the Valle del Sarca, the area o the lakes and the Giudicarie is La vita castellana nelle corti rinascimentali  (Castle lie in Renaissance courts) . Ater passing Castel Toblino, which has medieval origins but was rebuilt in Renaissance style by Prince Bishop Bernardo Clesio in the 16 th century, going along the Valle dei Laghi you arrive at an almost desert area, with an enormous stretch o grey limestone rocks, oten gigantic, the result o landslides rom Monte Brento and Monte Casale. These are the socalled Marocche, a natural spectacle dominated by Castel Drena, the medieval ort that dates back to the 12 th century, probably built on the site o a prehistoric settlement. It is a predominantly Romanesque building, with a quadrangular plan, a high central keep and a tower, almost 30 metres high. A ew kilometres urther south you can visit Castello di Arco. You can arrive along one o the three roads that cross the olive groves as ar as Prato della Lizza, where the Torre Grande stands, three 20metre walls that survived Napoleonic cannon re. Not ar away there is the precious Sala degli  Areschi  (Hall o Frescoes), built between the late 14 th century and early 15th century, which ully presents the theme o castle lie: in the most wonderul illustrations some ladies are playing dice, others are playing chess, another is picking roses and a knight is being invested. A ew kilometres to the south you arrive in Riva del Garda with its ancient Rocca, a ortress on the lake built rom 1124 onwards, although its current quadrilateral shape surrounded by water is the work o the Scaligeri dating to the 14 th century. Alterations were made later, rst by the Venetians and then by the 16 th century Prince Bishop o Trento Bernardo Clesio. Today, the Rocca in Riva del Garda houses the MAG, Museo Alto Garda and an art gallery, with works by Pietro Ricchi, Francesco Hayez and Vincenzo Vela among others, as well as an archaeological section that includes wellknown stele statues rom the Copper Age, Roman arteacts, and a section dedicated to the history o the Basso Sarca valley. 14

In the Giudicarie region, near the Adamello Brenta Nature Park between Riva del Garda and Madonna di Campiglio, stands Castello di Stenico , which is eatured in the most wellknown image, depicting ladies and gentlemen having a snowball ght, in the Ciclo dei mesi in Torre Aquila at Castello del Buonconsiglio. Documented since 1163, 1 163, or almost eight centuries the castle was the residence o a Captain who exercised power over the Giudicarie region in the name o the Prince Bishop o Trento. Here too, the castle lie theme has been developed, with hunting weapons, a kitchen with copper utensils, and a collection o keys inspired by the curious character that, in the snowball scene o the Ciclo dei Mesi, is opening the door o Castel Stenico. The last area o Trentino castles is the Valsugana and the Valle di Cembra, associated with the theme La via dei castelli. Gli antichi percorsi  dall’età romana alla modernità (The modernità (The castle road. Ancient routes rom the Roman period to modern times). This theme reers to the Roman road

Via Claudia Augusta that connected Altino with Augusta Vindelicorum, currently known as Augsburg, in Bavaria. Castello di Pergine, which overlooks the Via Claudia Augusta in the upper Valsugana, was built in the 13th century. The rst owners o the castle were the Dukes o Austria, and then Emperor Maximilian I. Only in 1531 did it pass into the hands o the Prince Bishops o Trento. Today, the privately owned castle hosts a restaurant and a hotel, with 21 rooms in the wing that dates back to the Renaissance period. Ater a candlelit dinner in the medieval hall, you can spend the night as a member o the castle, experiencing another time period. You can then continue your journey to Fornace to visit medieval Castel Roccabruna, which was rebuilt in the Renaissance period, and looks like a beautiul stately home. Or you can go along the Valsugana, passing Borgo, as ar as Castel Ivano, also privately owned, with its moat that protects the northern part o the castle, a large door with the coat o arms o the Wolkenstein amily, amily, and a 17 1 7 th century chapel. The rst historic account o the castle dates back to 1187, but in 1027 it had already been assigned to the Bishop o Feltre.

intact ancient Roman road, paved with large stones o red limestone rom nearby quarries, along which you can see the ruts o carts that have crossed it, perhaps loaded with supplies and headed towards the legions o Emperor Augustus. Going down into the Underground Archaeological Site SASS Spazio Archeologico Sotterraneo del Sas in the historic centre o Trento, under the Teatro Sociale and Piazza Cesare Battisti, is like travelling back in time by 2,000 years. Here the ancient Tridentum is housed, ounded by the Romans in the middle o the 1 st century BC to guard the Valle dell’Adige. Along the road you can see the remains o a glassmaker’s workshop, mosaic oors, houses with kitchens, a latrine, triclinium, courtyard and well. A little urther on, the remains o the ancient boundary stone wall, cobblestones, bricks and a tower, which in Imperial times was also the door that led to the amphitheatre. The ancient Tridentum is just one o the best archaeological eatures o the Trentino region, which rom 14 April will enhance the new Museo delle Palaftte in Fiavé , with an extraordinary collection o objects dating back 3,500 years or so. The bottom o ancient Lake Carera, now a peat bog, has excellently preserved pottery, bronze, amber and gold arteacts, and particularly the oldest wooden objects in Europe, including kitchen utensils and work tools. The Museo Retico in Sanzeno ofers a ascinating tour through the “well o time”. Starting at the lower end with Palaeolithic hunters, it then climbs to meet Neolithic armers, Copper Age metal workers, and the death o the holy martyrs o Anaunia. The Acqua Fredda archaeological site at Passo del Redebus is one o the major protohistoric metal working sites in Europe. Then, the archaeological section o the MAG, Museo Alto Garda, in Riva del Garda houses eight ascinating stele statues o Arco dating back to the Copper Age, an artistic masterpiece o the third millennium BC.

Archaeology. In a time machine

In the SASS, Spazio Archeologico Sotterraneo del SAS , which gets its name rom the ancient district that was largely destroyed in the Thirties to build Piazza Cesare Battisti, many eatures lead you to discover lie in Roman times. For example, the hypocaustum heating system, based on the circulation o hot air rom a nearby replace running under oors and inside walls. This system was used in mountain areas not only in thermal spas but also in homes. Children and adult visitors much appreciate the video entitled Dentro Trento (Inside Trento), which was made using virtual reality techniques. From the remains still visible today, a 3Djourney starts o the Roman town, with a virtual tour along the streets inside the boundary walls, with towers, to artisan workshops and the rooms o the domus with mosaics. But the ancient Tridentum is not only evident at the large SASS site. Under the Torre Civica in Piazza Duomo, you can visit the remains o the Porta Veronensis, the monumental southern entrance gate to the town, built in the middle o the1 st century AD on the site o an earlier building. The gate had two arched openings surrounded by two towers with 16 sides. Today, there are still clearly visible elements including the base o the western gate with its grooves, or “cataratte”, that housed the sliding shutter gate, a tower anking it, the remains o the boundary wall, and a stretch o the “cardo massimo”, the main northsouth road. In Piazza Duomo there are also the remains o an early Christian basilica, commissioned by Bishop Vigilio to house the remains o three missionaries Sisinio, Martirio and Alessandro, who were killed in the Val di Non in 397 AD. Not ar away is the archaeological site o Palazzo Lodron, with a clearly visible part o the ancient area o Tridentum, with stretches o boundary wall and a secondary road. There is also a winemaking workshop with evidence o six vats, a clear sign o winemaking activities in Trentino in Roman times. From antiquity to prehistory: on 14 April, the new Museo delle Palaftte will open in Fiavé. Together with Ledro, it is one o the 111 places that orm the site dedicated to prehistoric pile dwellings in the Alps, which recently became part o the UNESCO World Heritage Site. Evidence can be ound in Fiavé o the presence o man rom the Mesolithic period, the 7th millennium BC to the Iron Age. The oldest stable settlement dates back to the 4th millennium BC, but the most important are Bronze Age pile dwellings (2nd millenium BC). In addition to hundreds o poles still visible today in the archaeological area, thousands o arteacts have been ound including ceramic pottery, animal bones and horns and precious ornaments in bronze, gold and amber. Finally, a very important collection o about 300 well preserved wooden objects, the only ones in Europe, includes kitchen tableware and utensils such as cups, ladles and trays, as well as work tools such as buckets, hammers, sickles, drills and axe handles. The new Museo delle Palatte, housed in the ancient Casa Carli in Fiavé, also has an entire oor dedicated to the reconstruction o everyday lie about 3,400 years ago in a piledwelling. The other piledwelling settlement, which became part o the UNESCO World Heritage Site along with Fiavé, is the one in Lake Ledro. In 1929, the level o the lake was lowered and over 10,000 poles suraced on the southern shore,

The tour continues upwards, going ahead in time, to a very important section o the museum on the Rhaetians, a population that developed between the mid6 th and the 1 st century BC in Trentino Alto Adige, Lower Engadin and northeastern Tyrol. Rhaetian culture is the village o Sanzeno, also known as “Fritzens Sanzeno”, ater the names o the Austrian village in the Inn valley and o Sanzeno in the Val di Non, which houses the museum, where excavations have unearthed a large number o arteacts that testiy the presence o the Rhaetians, especially on the Terrazzo dei Casalini. They include large keys, advanced tools or agriculture such as iron hoes and sickles, bronze arteacts, weapons such as helmets, swords and spearheads, as well as rened objects connected with worship. The museum also illustrates the process o Romanization, starting rom the 1st century BC, and concluding with the martyrdom o the missionaries Sisinio, Martirio and Alessandro, sent to the Val di Non in 397 by bishop Vigilio o Trento and burned to death ater a violent pagan reaction. Another place ofering the valuable prehistoric archaeological heritage o Trentino is the Acqua Fredda site at Passo del Redebus, at 1440 metres, between the Piné plateau and the Valle dei Mocheni, where a group o nine urnaces has been ound dating back to the Late Bronze Age, between the 13 th and 11th century BC. It also includes tools or working copper such as mills, to grind it to sand, and the remains o bellows to keep the temperature o the urnaces at about 1200 degrees. Acqua Fredda, one o the most important protohistoric metal working sites in Europe, is the ideal place to discover the secrets o metal working. You can watch archaeological technicians making a metal tool or venture into an educational workshop.

You can visit this unique site in Europe on your own, consulting the inormation boards provided, or on an organised tour starting rom the museum or groups o minimum 10 people. The Museo Civico in Rovereto organises the Rassegna Internazionale del Cinema Archeologico (International Festival o Archaeological Cinema), which will take place this year rom 1  6 October, with dozens o lms, meetings and conversations with a large number o archaeologists rom all over the world. Finally, the archaeological section o the collection at the Museo Castello del Buonconsiglio is o special interest, particularly the section on the Bronze Age and Iron Age, including a splendid amber necklace discovered in a peat bog near Cles, as well as greaves used to protect the warriors’ legs o Masetti di Pergine. Finally, there is the Roman section with the Tabula Clesiana, a bronze slab bearing the edict o Emperor Claudius, dating back to 46AD, granting Roman citizenship to the Anauni, the population o the Val di Non.

In the MAG, Museo Alto Garda, in Riva del Garda, a copious collection o arteacts is on show rom the Upper Garda area, housed in the rooms o the 12 th century Rocca. It starts with int objects o the midPalaeolithic period belonging to Neanderthal Man, ound near Monte Baldo, ollowed by arteacts rom the piledwelling settlements in Ledro and Fiavé, and a wide selection o unerary relics rom the Roman period, as well as the spa complex recently discovered in Riva, in Via Pilati. But the most extraordinary arteacts on show at the museum are probably the Copper Age stele statues o Arco, eight masterpieces o prehistoric anthropomorphic sculpture, seven in marble and one in local stone. The largest is 215cm high. The stele statues represent male, emale and asexual gures, with ornaments, garments, anatomical details and triangular daggers characteristic o the midCopper Age. Various hypotheses have been put orward about the identity o these gures. They might be gods or real people who aunted the power o weapons. But the most likely hypothesis is that they are mythical ancestors who justied the acquisition o power by a particular social class. The Museo Civico di Rovereto also houses an impressive archaeological section, with the Paolo Orsi collections that include terracotta pottery o Magna Grecia and over 1,000 Greek silver, bronze and gold coins. The museum also ofers many prehistoric arteacts, rom the Neolithic period to the threshold o Romanization, as well as a ascinating tour along the dinosaur tracks to the Lavini di Marco site. South o Rovereto, on a steep 200metre slope o Monte Zugna, the tracks o hundreds o carnivorous and herbivorous dinosaurs o various shapes and sizes can be seen. The rocks date back to the early Jurassic period, about 200 million years ago.

he shadows o the sentries slide along the walls in the mazelike ort, their breathing, voices and coughing echoing rom their posts. A sudden burst o machinegun re makes you hold your breath. The image o a World War I soldier slowly appears on a screen, while a voice reads extracts rom his letters and diaries. Forte Belvedere in Lavarone, a military garrison in the Great War, is in excellent condition and situated on a rocky spur that overlooks the Val d’Astico. An interactive multimedia project entitled La Fortezza  delle Emozioni (The Fortress o Emotions) , organised by Studio Azzurro, allows you to relive the atmosphere breathed here by soldiers, their endless waiting or battle, their ear and hope. The project not only helps you to understand that war but also to experience it, emphasizing the nal choice o peace and lie. The Trentino region, which was the borderland between the AustroHungarian Empire and the Kingdom o Italy, is preparing or the Centenary o the Great War ’14 – ‘18 by presenting a varied panorama rich in orts, trenches and museums. Many o these give visitors a realistic idea o how battles were ought, including the recently restored big trench Trincerone, on Monte Zugna, where Italian soldiers successully stopped the ”Great Spring Ofensive” begun by the Austrians on 15 May 1916. Double excitement can be experienced: taking the path to the trench, you retrace the route that was the last or many soldiers. When you get to the Italian outpost, you realise that the Austrian outpost is just 40 metres away. The relics o the “Guerra Bianca” (White War), ought at the most impossible altitudes, are also extremely ascinating. It involved the tunnel Galleria del Corno di Cavento , 3,380 metres up the Massiccio dell’Adamello, contested by the opposing armies at temperatures as low as 30 degrees below zero. From the ice, which completely covered the cave, newspapers, leaets, garments, weapons and ammunition have been recovered, as i the cave had been inhabited up to yesterday.

To visitors, Forte Belvedere appears to be a mighty concrete war machine that sinks underground and overlooks an incredible precipice, which was bombed but never conquered. The rst stop on the multimedia tour o the ort entitled La Fortezza delle Emozioni, is at the Plastico Animato. With a gesture o the hand, visitors can animate a 3D model that presents a range o dynamic inormation, images and animated signs with an audio commentary, leading them to discover the history and the various eatures o the ort. Visitors then continue to a second stop Le sentinelle, a reconstruction o events in daily lie via projected silhouettes o liesize soldiers engaged in diferent activities, which are activated by visitors. The third stop is Obici dei suoni , with howitzers in a dome transormed into sounds including voices, commands, noises and explosions. I diari dei nidi delle mitragliatrici excites visitors with its contrast between the dry sound o weapons that emit simulated ashes o gunre as they listen to passages rom the diaries and letters o soldiers, whose images gradually appear on the walls. Finally, rom two dismantled machinegun posts, the L’Angelo degli alpini allows you to enjoy the beautiul landscape o the Val d’Astico, accompanied by two emale voices that take turns to recite passages by two important writers o the war period, Mario Rigoni Stern and Piero  Jahier.. However  Jahier However,, the orts orts o o Trenti Trentino no involved involved in the Great Great War War do not only include Forte Belvedere and six other orts in the Folgaria, Lavarone and Luserna chain but also many others throughout the region, which, ollowing recent restoration, are open to visitors.

near Lardaro in the Giudicarie Ineriori area, to deend the road rom Brescia. This ne ort is made o chiselled granite ashlar. Nearby, the important AustroHungarian military cemetery in Bondo, commissioned by the Austrian commander Theodor Spiegel and built rom 1916 onwards, hosts 697 corpses o soldiers (5 unknown) and is a highly interesting architectural structure. Dating back to the same period is Forte Bus de Vela, in a strategic position straddling the road that descends rom Cadine to Trento, in pink limestone ashlar with three casemates or artillery and two tunnels or riemen. Then there is Forte Strino, its name coming rom the stream that anks it at an altitude o 1,400 metres near Vermiglio in the Val di Sole, which resembles the shell o a kind o antediluvian ossil and deended the Tonale road. Forte Pozzacchio in Vallarsa, located on a rocky promontory at an altitude o 882 metres near Valmorbia and overlooking the Leno stream, was where the second lieutenant o the 158 th Inantry Brigade o Liguria and uture Nobel Prize winner Eugenio Montale ought. Some years later the poet described the soldiers’ “oblivion o the world”: “Shots were silent; the solitary bowels o the land ofered no sound but the gurgling Leno. A are shot up into the air, leaving a trail o tears. The lucid nights all through were dawn and brought oxes to my cavern. Valmorbia, a name, and in wan remembrance, a land unknown to dusk”. From Forte di Nago near Torbole, on the northern shore o Lake Garda, you can descend to Doss Casina, on Monte Baldo, the scene o another historic encounter between the war and the world o art and literature: here the Futurists, enrolled in the Lombard Battalion volunteer cyclists, also took part in occupying the hillock on 24 October 1915. A must or visitors ollowing the ootsteps o World War I in Trentino, is the Museo Storico Italiano della Guerra di Rovereto , which hosts one o the most important exhibitions ever held on the war. This visit is not only attractive due to the wealth o exhibits on show but also because o its setting, the 15 th century castle o Rovereto, which houses the museum. Its rooms contain weapons, uniorms, photographs, propaganda, paintings, documents and relics.

1911-1931 (Libya. An Italian Colonial War 1911-1931) continues until

3 June. It helps us to remember an inconvenient and too oten ignored page in Italian history. From 30 June to November 2013, an exhibition will be dedicated to a decisive stage in the ItaloAustrian conict: Pasubio 1915-18. La lunga battaglia (Pasubio 1915-18. The Long  Battle). From 1 December, the exhibition Castelli, armi e soldati  1500-1700. Il Castello di Rovere Rovereto to e le collezioni del Museo Storico Italiano della Guerra (Castles, Weapons and Soldiers 1500-1700. Rovereto Castle and the Collections o the Italian War History Museum)

will take place. This exhibition also marks the opening o the large towers and the terreplein to visitors ater restoration. Not ar rom Rovereto, on Monte Zugna, the big trench Trincerone has recently been restored. It is one o the symbols o Italian resistance to the Austrian counterofensive o the year 1916. This was one o the places where the dramatic conict unolded that can still be seen today: the two vanguard posts are just 40 metres apart. Trento can be seen rom the Trincerone, whereas a corner o Lake Garda and a stretch o the Po plain can be seen rom the Austrian trench. Today, the new itinerary or visitors, a circular route about 1.5km long covering a diference in altitude o 90 metres, is well marked with inormation panels and boards. Other trenches can be ound on Monte Creino and on Nagià Grom, between Riva del Garda and Rovereto, where you can visit the observatory, the artillery posts in a cavern, and walk through the trenches.

Trentino also has many extraordinary sites at higher altitudes over 3,000 metres, which recall the socalled “White War”, on the Adamello range in particular. Just a ew years ago, an AustroHungarian garrison was discovered below Punta Linke, at an altitude o 3.632 metres, including helmets, overshoes stufed with straw, stoves and barbed wire, all transported by the cable car that ascended rom Cogolo to the “barache brusade” at 3,300 metres. An exceptional site o the “White War” on the Adamello range is the tunnel Galleria di Cavento. It is situated at an altitude o 3,380 metres between the peaks o the Corno di Cavento, a crest that was long contested between the Italian and the Austrian armies. It is a cavern that is partly natural and partly excavated by soldiers trying to shelter rom temperatures as low as 30 degrees below zero. Ater restoration work was completed in summer 2011, it is now open to visitors, who are amiliar with high mountain routes and accompanied by a mountain guide. At Passo Paradiso, echoes o I Suoni e le voci della Guerra Bianca  return: inside a tunnel excavated through granite, historic arteacts and a sound installation take visitors back in time to when these walls acted as a reuge or soldiers. From midMay to January 2013, at Palù del Fersina in the Istituto Culturale Mocheno in the Valle dei Mòcheni, an exhibition is scheduled entitled Musil en Bersntol. La grande esperienza della guerra in Valle dei Mòcheni (Musil en Bersntol. The War Experience in the Valle dei Mòcheni).

It is about World War I in the valley through the eyes o an excellent witness, the great Austrian writer Robert Musil. A very interesting exhibition is scheduled rom 31 March to 4 November at the Centro Documentazione di Luserna. It ocuses on the story o 60,000 soldiers o Trentino enrolled with the AustroHungarian army and sent to ght on the Russian ront in the summer o 1914. O these soldiers, around 11,000 died in Galicia, between Ukraine and Poland. In addition to the 60,000 soldiers there were over 100,000 reugees, people o Trentino who were orced to leave their homes due to the ghting. I you consider that the total population o Trentino at the beginning o the war was 380,000, you can get an idea o the magnitude o this disaster. Every evening rom the Colle di Miravalle which overlooks Rovereto and the Vallagarina, the large Campana dei Caduti Maria Dolens (Maria Dolens Bell o the Fallen) tolls one hundred times in remembrance o all the people killed in the war. Forged rom the bronze cannons ofered by the countries that took part in the Great War, it was commissioned by the priest o Rovereto

Don Antonio Rossaro as an eternal symbol o condemnation o the war. The projects o the Fondazione Opera Campana dei Caduti include the Osservatorio Balcani e Caucaso , a research centre that not only explores the social and political changes o the hotspot o southeast Europe, Turkey and the Caucasus but also produces lms and documentaries. It was in Trentino that the Great War saw ghting by armies o 12 diferent nationalities, including the Italians, Austrians, Germans, Poles, Hungarians, Croats, Serbs, Bosnians, Slovenians, Czechs, English and French. The Centenary 2014 – 2018 is thereore an occasion or remembrance not only or Italy but also or Europe. Trentino will be ready or this centenary with a comprehensive, varied and wellorganised programme o events.

D

ance can express the culture o various araway countries such as India, China and South America, emerging areas o the world that nd new ways o communicating through body language. This is the 2012 edition o Oriente Occidente, one o the leading European estivals o contemporary dance, which has been held in Rovereto or thirtytwo years. In the Trentino region in summer, the semitones o great jazz resound in venues rich in history and charm, enhancing ascinating places such as the ancient Rocca di Riva that overlooks Lake Garda, the Sanctuary o Saint Romedio in the Val di Non and the Calceranica Mineral Park, among others. The estival I Suoni delle Dolomiti (Sounds o the Dolomites) has a similar efect. It encourages great musicians to perorm in some o the most beautiul mountains in the world, which, seen through the eye o cameras, are the ocal point o the TrentoFilmFestival that will celebrate its 60 th edition. The screening o hundreds o short lms, documentaries and eature lms, and the presence o wellknown mountaineers attract many enthusiasts rom all over the world every year. Trento also hosts the Festival Economia attended by thousands o people, who pose questions to distinguished speakers, oten impressed by such passion or the debates. Art takes centre stage with Drodesera , which celebrates the encounter between theatre perormances and visual arts in the hydroelectric plant in Fies, whereas Pergine Spettacolo Aperto is a workshop o various art orms, rom avantgarde drama to urban design, with diversity as its common theme. The Accademia Internazionale di improvvisazione all’organo e al clavicordo di Smarano shows that creativity in classical music plays just as an important role as in more contemporary styles. Moreover, MusicaRivaFestival ofers a combination o great music and the peaceul charm o the Upper Garda area. Every year, Arte Sella adds new artistic installations o nature to its rich collection, whereas Futuro Presente explores interaction between various orms o expression o the arts and contemporary culture.

In 2012, Tr Trentino entino Jazz opens with Dolomiti Ski Jazz , twentysix concerts rom 10 to 18 March throughout the Val di Fiemme. Daytime perormances in mountain reuges on ski runs add irresistible appeal to this estival. Ater skiing down some o the most beautiul mountains in the world, you can enter a mountain reuge to listen to quality live jazz while sipping a glass o Marzemino or Teroldego red wine and tasting a speciality o Trentino: What more can you ask? At high altitudes, scheduled perormances include the Barato Total group led by Barbara Casini, a great interpreter o Brazilian music, and  James Thompson, Thompson, the AricanAme AricanAmerican rican saxophonis saxophonistt who has been working with Zucchero or years. In the evening, down in the valley, you can attend a jam session with Joe Chambers, Jorge Rossy, Pietro Tonolo and Arnie Somogyi, and a perormance by the AngloNigerian blues, soul and unky singer Ola Onabule. The programme continues rom 11 March to 18 April with Itinerari Jazz , a series o concerts at the teatro Auditorium Santa Chiara di Trento, whereas on 28 June in the Upper Garda region the rich summer season starts: until 15  July,, the Garda Jazz estival will take place at castles and at the  July lakeside, with music by top international groups and soloists. The estival continues rom 9 to 24 July with the Valsugana Jazz Tour and its outdoor youth concerts, and rom 21 July to 2 August with NonSoleJazz and seminars held by musicians including Paolo Fresu.

The Lagarina Jazz estival , another opportunity to listen to great music in exceptional venues, will be held rom 1 to 31 August. Then rom 29 October to 13 November, a session o Itinerari Jazz will take place at Auditorium Melotti in Rovereto. The grand nale starts rom 25 October to 13 December, with Sonata Islands, a estival that starts in Trento and continues in Udine and Milan. From jazz to dance with Oriente Occidente, the contemporary dance estival rom 1 to 9 September in Rovereto and Trento. This estival o experimentation and trends sees the East and the West as poles o an ideal path o exchanges and encounters not only between cultures but also between contemporary genres and orms o expression. The theme o this edition is the interaction o diferent cultures intertwined with body language, with allround ocus particularly on the emerging regions o the world: South America, India and China. Distant languages and people nd new means o expression and interaction. The spirit o the estival, the 32nd edition this year, has been to highlight the reciprocal inuences o eastern artistic tradition on western experimentation o the 20th century and vice versa. Oriente Occidente thus becomes a round trip o theatre and dance, experimentation and tradition, identity and innovation. The programme also includes a section or local young talent, aimed at providing creative and productive opportunities or young choreographers and dancers rom the Trentino region. This year also marks the 60 th edition o the TrentoFilmFestival, an important cinema estival dedicated to the mountains, climbing and adventure. It is scheduled rom 26 April to 6 May at the Auditorium del Centro Santa Chiara, various cinemas and other venues in Trento. At the heart o the estival are short lms, documentaries and eature lms made by many lmmakers rom all over the world, who ofer spectators new emotions with images o nature at high altitudes. Two audience awards are given, one or eature lms and the other or lms on mountain climbing. An international panel o judges, who certainly do not have an easy task, select the winners o the other awards. The most coveted prize is the “Gran Premio Città di Trento”, which goes to the best lm overall. Then there is the “Premio del Club Alpino Italiano” or the best lm on mountains and mountain climbing, the “Premio della Città di Bolzano” or the best lm on mountain sport, exploration or adventure, as well as the “Premio della Giuria”. Thousands o enthusiasts are also attracted to Trento by debates and conerences with leading Italian and oreign mountaineers, who have conquered the most inaccessible peaks in the Alps, Himalayas, Andes and Karakorum. The 26 th edition o MontagnaLibri is scheduled to coincide with the TrentoFilmFestival. This international publishing exhibition on the theme o mountains, pays special attention to the tales o the “great days”, socalled by the unorgettable and recently deceased Walter Bonatti, which were experienced by mountaineers on the most dicult mountain aces.

Religion Today Filmestival , scheduled rom 12 to 24 October in Trento and in various locations in the province, will show dozens o eature lms, documentaries and short lms that explore points o view o diferent religions on human existence and religious experience. The estival, which also includes venues in other Italian towns and abroad, allows visitors to learn about directors who remain out o the limelight due to marketing or distribution censorship. The event includes a workshop that brings together lm makers and experts o diferent aiths and nationalities with a view to highlighting their diferences. From 31 May to 3 June, in squares and in palace halls in Trento, the 7th edition o the Festival Economia will take place. It is a highly successul event due to the presence o international experts and its open participation ormat. The real protagonist o the estival is what has been dubbed the “Squirrel audience” (ater the symbol o the estival), namely, the varied audience that crowds into the debates, posing unexpected questions to speakers including, at ormer editions, Zygmunt Bauman, Mario Monti, Romano Prodi and Innocenzo Cipolletta. “It is a wonderul experience to see grandmothers and parents with children sitting in the square and ollowing debates on large screens on topics such as the Eurozone crisis or immigration, immigration,”” comments Dani Rodrik. “When I say that I took part in a estival on economics with an audience o over 50,000 people, people laugh at me,” adds Alan Krueger. The theme o the 2012 edition is extremely topical: Cicli di vita e rapporti tra generazioni  (Liecycles and relationships relatio nships between generations) . It is a crucial topic at a time when Italy is aced with reorms on work and welare. The protagonists o this edition include 2010 Nobel Prize winners or Economics, Chris Pissarides and Dale Mortesen. From economics we move on to the most expressive orms o creative art: rom 6 to 14 July, the 37 th edition o Pergine Spettacolo Aperto will be held with the participation o important players rom the international cultural scene, avantgarde drama, young theatre companies, perormances, videos, installations, urban design and unusual ringe events. In 2007, this estival in the Valsugana underwent changes with the opening o a workshop area at the ormer psychiatric hospital in the town. Today, “the art o being ringe” has become the undamental philosophy o a estival that considers diversity a value, an essential eature o the evolutionary path o man. Another driving orce behind artistic innovation with unquestionable energy is the hydroelectric plant in Fies, where the Drodesera estival has been held or thirtytwo years. In the ve rooms o this ascinating building, experimental encounters involve the theatre and visual arts, music, ashion, design, architecture and new trends. Centrale Fies – Ambienti per la Produzione di Perorming Arts thus becomes, rom 20 to 28 July, the stage o an unpredictable and continuously changing estival, in which perorming art, visual arts and live music interact in diferent ways. This year perormers include Alessandro Sciarroni, Pieter Ampe & Guilherme Garrido and Peeping Tom, among others.

Artistic creativity knows no boundaries and can be equally applied to avantgarde and classical music. In Trentino, one such example is the Accademia Internazionale di improvvisazione all’organo e al clavicordo. From 25 July to 4 August, it brings musicians, experts and students o ancient music rom all over the world to Smarano and Coredo. This year, experimentation and training, master classes and courses will ocus on the important aspect o modality and tonality in the lead up to estivities in 2013, dedicated to Arcangelo Corelli, a personality who has paved the way towards new approaches to making music that combine tradition with modern creativity. At the Accademia event, maestros and students will play prestigious instruments in the music room and in the beautiul small church o Smarano. A similar ormat, involving experimentation, studies and perormances has led to the success o the MusicaRivaFestival , now at its 28 th edition. From 16 July to 4 August, in the natural setting o the Upper Garda area, concerts will be held concerning various elds o classical music and opera. Beore this, rom 28 May to 2 June, the 18th Concorso Internazionale per Giovani Cantanti Lirici Riccardo Zandonai (Riccardo Zandonai International Contest or Young Opera Singers) will take place. In recent years, Placido Domingo, Paul Simon, Gilberto Gil and Gloria Gaynor have perormed, among others. Another highly prestigious event is the Festival Internazionale W. A. Mozart , scheduled rom 18 to 26 August in Rovereto, which celebrates its 25 th edition with the unique theme o Alla turca. Mozart e l’esotismo (Mozart’s Turkish exoticism). The music production takes centre stage, with explicit reerence to an exotic setting with Mozart’s opera entitled Abduction rom the Seraglio. But the estival, which has always presented the works o the great Wolgang also through contemporary expression, explores an approach to various musical traditions, including an evening with many talented musicians rom nonwestern cultures who live in the Trentino region. Rovereto shows its deep cultural and artistic involvement, or example, in visual arts at the MART, with the Futuro Presente estival, an exhibition held rom 15 to 17 June and rom 15 to 18 November that explores interaction between various expressions o the arts and contemporary culture and with Educa, a national event on education scheduled rom 28 to 30 September, which aims to promote reection and debate between all those who do not wish to passively take part in the chorus o complaints about the delegitimization o schools, parental incompetence and uncontrollable pupils.

T

he walls o the Dolomites become pink at dawn while a musician holds an instrument beore an audience silently enraptured by the beauty o it all. I Suoni delle Dolomiti (Sounds o the Dolomites), the summer musical event o Trentino that brings great musicians to perorm against a backdrop o the most beautiul mountains in the world, ofers wonderul, unorgettable experiences, such as this event entitled Albe (Dawn in the Dolomites). Similar experiences can be ound in Trekking , a 3day trek in close proximity with musicians, sleeping in mountain reuges and sharing diculties amid the silence o the mountains and music that goes beyond words. Some o the most extraordinary musicians that perorm at I Suoni delle Dolomiti in Trentino have the honour o choosing, and having named ater them, one o the tonewood spruce trees in the Valle di Fiemme, which were used by Stradivari and other great stringinstrument makers to create the best violins and piano the soundboards in the world. In the Bosco che suona (Musical Wood), in Valmaggiore above Predazzo, where ceremonies take place that symbolically give musicians a tree, the virtuous relationship between art and nature in Trentino achieves alchemical completion. Last year the great maestro Salvatore Accardo played his precious violin, Guarneri del Gesù dating back to 1733, next to the spruce tree that had just been named ater him and was surprised because he had never heard it vibrate so much. It also happens to those who are lucky enough to attend a concert in the Dolomites, the heart that vibrates in harmony with nature and great music. “I God had to choose a place to play, play, he would come here, here,”” commented the great violinist Ivry Gitlis on a visit to the Arte Sella Cattedrale Vegetale in the Valsugana: 3 Gothic style openair naves ormed by 80 columns o 12metre high intertwined branches, including a hornbeam and a 82x15metre base, orm a plant cathedral , the work o the artist Giuliano Mauri. It is one o the symbolic works o this international event o contemporary art in nature.

Art in Nature. The music o the mountains

The Dolomites o the Val di Fassa will host the rst concert, on 30 June, o the 18th edition o I Suoni delle Dolomiti 2012. From that day onwards, until 31 August, the mountains o Trentino will become a natural stage or concerts perormed by musicians rom all over the world. Many treats are included in the programme this year, beginning with Dolomiti D’InCanto, on 1 July, when ten choirs o Trentino will perorm simultaneously at the same number o mountain reuges: a collective musical event held in honour o the mountains that are part o the UNESCO World Heritage Site, a tribute to the peaks that overlook all the valleys o Trentino. This will be ollowed by trekking on Monte Cevedale accompanied by the cellist Mario Brunello, an old acquaintance o the Dolomites, and one o the most acclaimed violinists, and by the German Isabelle Suoni delle Dolomiti ater the event Faust, who ell in love with I Suoni delle last year at the Laghi di Bombasèl. Wishing to take part in its most “extreme” orm, she obtained a ew days leave rom the Berliner Philarmoniker to go trekking in the mountains o Trentino. Two prestigious concerts are scheduled or Dolomiti di Pace, another variation on the theme o I Suoni delle Suoni delle Dolomiti, which annually hosts musicians rom areas o conict in symbolic places o World War I.

I SUONI DELLE DOLOMITI www.isuonidelledolomiti.it

At Forte Corno in the Valle del Chiese, Dobet Gnahoré is scheduled to perorm. This singer, dancer and percussionist rom the Ivory Coast, with a great voice and an overwhelming stage presence, is the daughter o the master percussionist Abidjan Boni Gnahorè. At Forte Zaccarana in the Valle di Sole, the 3MA will perorm: Ballake Sissokò, Driss El Maloumi and Rajery, rom Mali, Morocco and Madagascar respectively. They are masters and virtuosos o the instrument that represents their land: the rst plays the Mali kora, a 21string instrument made rom a large pumpkin, the second plays the oud, or Moroccan lute, and the third plays the Madagascan valiha, a tubular zither made rom two large bamboo tubes. The musicians scheduled to perorm at I Suoni delle Dolomiti  include singersongwriters Simone Cristicchi, Samuele Bersani and Gianmaria Testa, the singer Cristina Donà, the trumpet and trombone duo Enrico Rava and Gianluca Petrella, as well as Banda Osiris, Paolo Fresu and Daniele di Bonaventura, all ollowing in the ootsteps o musicians who perormed at previous editions such as Francesco De Gregori, Roberto Vecchioni, Max Gazzè, Fiorella Mannoia, Davide van de Sroos, Daniel Hope, Noa, Gidon Kremer and Goran Bregovic. From music to visual arts, and rom the mountains to rocks, leaves, branches and trunks: the raw materials or most o the works exhibited at Arte Sella, rom 1 April to 31 December, the contemporary art event held in a natural setting in the Val di Sella, not ar rom Borgo Valsugana. Creative works by artists rom all over the world provide a continuously changing outdoor art collection. The works at Arte Sella change in appearance with the seasons, just like the landscape. Over time, atmospheric agents destroy them and every year new ones are created. In 2012, an artistic contribution by the Belgian artist Bob Verschueren is expected, among others, who has created a work inspired by the myth o Sisphyus or the exhibition in the Valsugana. Another new eature is the beginning o collaboration with the architect Luc Schuiten, also Belgian, who will make a prototype o the “vegetable city” or Arte Sella, in response to the radical challenges imposed by climate changes. The Arte Sella exhibition is divided into two diferent sections. The ArteNatura tour (ree admission) ollows a 2kilometre orest trail, along which you

can see about 25 works in the woods, including Tempio dell’amore by Belle Shar, Spirale by Alois Steger, Rotazione by Paul Feichter and Corteccia strappata by Cameron Hockenson. It is an enjoyable 2hour walk, mainly through woods, where you can discover works o art surrounded by nature. The entrance to the Malga Costa area (admission charged), open all year round, is not ar rom the arrival point o the ArteNatura trail. Once the home o shepherds or cattle breeding and butter and cheese production, today, it is a venue or theatre productions, concerts, photographic exhibitions and creative workshops. From 25 to 29 July, it will host Fucina Arte Sella, led by the cellist Mario Brunello with the participation, this year, o the actress Sista Bramini, as well as Marco Rizzi, Danilo Rossi, Marina Bartoli, Razek Francois Bitar and Alberto Allegrezza. Every year this event “shapes” very intimate perormances previewed by the audiences o Arte Sella. There is just a short distance between the stage and the hall, and no microphones or ampliers are used. Art and nature are also the protagonists in Mezzano, one o the most beautiul villages in Italy, thanks to attractive canzèi  installations, piles o wood that turn into real works o art during the Mezzano Romantica event. Scheduled this year rom 20 June to 26 August, meetings with poets, authors, philosophers and musicians will also take place. In addition to this art in nature event, another land art event is RespirArt Pampeago Green&White Gallery on Monte Latemar, rom Baita Caserina to Monte Cornon, eaturing large cocoons o wool and trees, uprooted by wind, shaped by an artist. In winter, ice sculptures can be seen in places even reachable on skis. Not ar away, in the Bosco che Suona in the Valmaggiore, one o the places where the percentage o spruce trees suited to making violins and pianos increases rom 8 per thousand to 10 percent, a spruce tree was symbolically presented to Uto Ughi and to about twenty other great musicians including Mario Brunello, Daniel Hope, 38

Marco Rizzi, Ezio Bosso, Ivry Gitlis and Uri Caine. Uto Ughi chose one that emits an F sharp when hit by the hand, almost like a xylophone. Then, Marcello Mazzucchi, an iconic gure o the orest and a poet, cored the tree, establishing that it was 230 years old. A spruce tree is presented to a violinist, and to all musicians chosen by the Scario, the President o the Magnica Comunità di Fiemme, which has been managing the collectively owned orests and pastures o the valley or 900 years. This tradition has continued throughout history: The Magnica Comunità has always donated part o the proceeds rom the sale o timber to sociocultural activities. The Bosco che suona  project not only involves musicians but also visitors looking or an unorgettable experience. In Predazzo, you can take a special audio guide and then tour the woods in search o trees, just a ew dozen metres apart, named ater musicians. A plaque attached to each tree thanks the musician or having made the trees in the woods resonate so well. The numbers on the audio guide correspond to a plaque so you can listen to a description o the tree by the orest poet and a presentation o the musician, ollowed by the musician playing a piece dedicated to the tree. This intimate and revitalising experience in a unique location is intended or a ew people who wish to be immersed in the silence o the woods and sublime music perormed by great maestros. Only 20 audio guides are available because the musical wood is not suitable or crowds. It is a real mountain experience, which is also at the heart o the Tra le rocce e il cielo estival held in the Vallarsa, in the Piccole Dolomiti, rom 30 August to 2 September, the socalled “Mountain Awareness Festival”. The remote Vallarsa is the ideal place to speak about mountains, their history and prospects, their encounter with art and especially with literary inspiration. “Solitude now has the ragrance o walnuts and pears, o potatoes and bread placed in the oven. Frost lies like silver veils on the meadows. I enter the woods to smell winter. I encourage goats to chase me on the slopes o the Laita. The air is strong, invigorating and persuasive as it tries to make me y,” wrote Mario Martinelli, one o the two creators o the estival together with Fiorenza Aste. In these lines, the mountains appear to have primitive and maternal energy. Madre Montagna is also the name o the 2012 edition o the Il Mistero dei Monti estival in Madonna di Campiglio, scheduled rom 27 July to 27 August. Every year, this event ofers art exhibitions, literary, philosophical and scientic meetings, exhibitions and cinema screenings with internationally renowned guests, as well as themed trekking tours. The 10 th edition is the ultimate expression o a path, which totally and symbolically celebrates the “mother mountains”, ater exploring aspects o geology, poetry and lms. The choice o this theme arose rom a scientic view: the mountains are seen as a source o lie rather than a distant rocky place or a seemingly silent mass o rocks. This edition aims to make people aware o the cultural, environmental and scientic aspects o the mountains, worthily celebrating everything that breathes in their “maternal” heart. Leading gures in the literary and mountaineering elds take part, including, in the previous edition, Erri De Luca, Cesare Maestri, Massimo Cacciari, Vera Slepoj and many others.

or a child visiting the ethnographic Museo degli Usi e Costumi della Gente Trentina (Museum o the Customs and Traditions o the Trentino People) in San Michele all’Adige, it is rather like ollowing in the ootsteps o Alice in Wonderland. When you approach the enormous waterbased machinery including a water mill, hammer and Venetian sawmill, you suddenly eel very small. When you observe the details o the reducedscale models, or example, o the mountain dairy, you eel like a giant. Adults are also amazed and captivated by the wealth o exhibits at the museum, the large number o sections and topics, as well as detailed descriptions o the daily lie o armers and shepherds, woodworking, ceramics and how these ingenious machines work. All visitors are aware o the inventiveness and almost childlike curiosity o the ounder, the great ethnographer Giuseppe Šebesta, who not only dismantled these objects, just like children do in order to understand how they are made, but also recreated all the stages in making them. For example, in the showcases we can see how a lump o iron becomes a spade or a lump o copper a pot. All the processing stages are clearly illustrated and do not require lengthy captions: the eld, sowing seeds, harvesting, the mill etc. Discovering the rich traditional heritage o Trentino continues with a visit to the Ecomuseums o the Judicaria, Viaggio, the Val di Peio, Vanoi, Lagorai, Argentario and the Valle del Chiese , a “network” that covers the entire province and explores all the acets o the traditions and culture o this region. In these openair museums that link the past to the uture, the land with its people and culture replaces exhibition centres. The local inhabitants have chosen to embrace and enhance their roots, allowing visitors to leisurely explore the heart o Trentino, wandering through history, tradition and nature.

The Museo degli Usi e Costumi della Gente Trentina, housed in the rooms o the ormer seat o the Augustinian Provostry o 1145 in San Michele all’Adige ofers a tour o the olk traditions and particularly the work culture and manual skills o Trentino. Its ingenious ounder, an ethnographer o Trentino with Bohemian roots Giuseppe Šebesta, had a wide range o interests: he was also a documentary lmmaker, artist and photographer. His versatility still inuences activities at the museum today. Šebesta also created animated puppets, and, as a tribute to this passion, on several evenings in July the museum hosts the Festival del Teatro di Figura  Burattini in Musica , directed by the Trentino puppeteer Luciano Gottardi o Trentino. Many temporary exhibitions are also held, including one dedicated to the writings o shepherds o the Valle di Fiemme, scheduled rom 20 April to 25 November. On 31 March and 1 April, the cloisters and courtyards o the monumental Augustinian complex will become a stage or the Festa dell’Etnografa presenting the 7 ecomuseums o Trentino with choirs, bands and olk groups. The Ecomuseo della Judicaria involves a broad and varied area that extends rom an altitude o 3,170 metres, the highest point o the Brenta Dolomites, to 70 metres at the Varone waterall: hence its slogan Dalle Dolomiti al Garda (From the Dolomites to Lake Garda). It also includes a variety o crops, where Bleggio walnut trees give way urther south, around Lago di Tenno, to vines and olive trees. There are many opportunities or visits to medieval arm villages such as Canale di Tenno, Borgo di Rango with its ancient closeknit houses, and San Lorenzo in Banale, which all belong to the “Most Beautiul Villages in Italy”. In the Lomaso area, a park is dedicated to the Romantic poet Giovanni Prati, born there in 1814. I Viaggi  dell’emozione, scheduled rom 1 June to 30 September, is the best

way to explore it. These tours pass through some o the poet’s avourite places, including the Franciscan convent o Campo Lomaso, the amily home and the church o the Assunta in Dasindo. The tours are accompanied by a storyteller and enlivened by theatrical drama. In addition, a visit to the archaeological site, the recently opened Museo delle Palatte in Fiavè is not to be missed. The Ecomuseo della Val di Peio is also known as the Piccolo mondo alpino, in reerence to the traditional mountain lie that can still be ound in this northwest corner o Trentino, overlooked by the Ortles Cevedale mountain range. One example is Casa Graziòli, the original nucleus o the ecomuseum named ater Maria Grazioli who lived there until 1991, also known as dela Bèga (in dialect ater her nickname). This building in Strombiano is a rare example o a traditional armstead and arm lie, with its two old openhearth panéti in dialect), kitchen stoves, two bread ovens ( óren dei panéti  a bedroom with wood panelling and a ceramic stove. On 9 August, this bread oven will be back in operation, turning out excellent bread as part o the event El pan de ‘na volta (Bread o bygone days). At the ecomuseum house in Celentino, a traditional weaving workshop has been created: not without reason the association that has promoted the ecomuseum is called LINUM (Italian acronym or Working Together to Describe Mountain Traditions), the Latin name o the textile bre once widely used in the Alps. The Ecomuseo del Vanoi, in eastern Trentino, ofers an attractive tour o the places and rural buildings where subsistence arming was practised. The ethnographic trail leads rom the valley valley,, namely, the village o Caoria at an altitude o just over 800 metres, to various pradi , or amily armsteads at medium altitudes, and then goes up to the mountain dairies and their meadows. At Caoria, the ethnographic trail house is situated, which introduces the trails and holds temporary exhibitions. At Pian de la Siega you can visit a multistage Venetian sawmill in operation, whereas at Pradi de Tognola, at an altitude o 1,219 metres, there is a casèra (dairy hut) and a traditional barn. At the Medaluna quarry, at an altitude o 1,350 metres, an openair exhibition describes how r trees were elled and sent down the valley. The trail then takes you up to the dairies, rom Vesnàza de Sot at 1,586 metres to Vesnòt de Sora at 1,876 metres. On 22  July and 26 August August at Fossernic Fossernicaa di Fuori, Fuori, I paesaggi del burro e del   ormaggio, event is scheduled as part o the tours o the mountain dairies Andar per malghe. The Ecomuseo del Lagorai includes the area ormerly governed by the Lords o Castellalto, between the lower Valsugana and the southern side o the Lagorai mountain range, an area whose traditional lie and economy was based on the pastures and woods o the mountains. These places can be explored by trekking through unspoilt nature, rom chestnut groves, crossed by a path, to the mountain dairies in the Val Calamento, Sette Selle and Casapinello, which produce butter, ricotta and other types o cheese. You can then continue to the scenic viewpoint o Colle San Pietro in Torcegno, where the ruins o a medieval castle stand. On 15 July,

it hosts Passeggiando nel Medioevo, an event that lets you explore the history o the castle through ancient crats, including ax processing, iron working, basket making and covering roos with shingle. Telve di Sopra hosts a collection o over 2,000 ancient artisan tools. Also in the Valsugana, on the slopes o the Lagorai mountains stands the more recent Ecomuseo del Viaggio (Ecomuseum o Tra Travelling), velling), socalled because it is crossed by the Via Claudia Augusta Altinate road, which connected Altino to Augsburg. It also reminds us o the journey o the “cromeri”, the print pedlars who disseminated Remondini and Tesini prints in Europe, almost always departing on their travels on oot. In Pieve Tesino, the Centro Documentazione Stampe Ambulantato Tesino has been set up, displaying a rich collection o prints. A print museum will shortly open at Casa Bufa Giacantoni. Not ar away is the Museo Casa De Gasperi, housed in the house where the statesman Alcide de Gasperi o Trentino was born on 3 April 1881. A small exhibition illustrates, the most important steps in his extraordinary personal and political lie, starting with his close ties with his homeland. At the Ecomuseo dell’Argentario, to the northeast o Trento, you can discover a mining event that happened around the year 1200, when a large number o German and Bohemian miners known as “Canopi”, ater the place name Knappen  Canopa (mine with horizontal entrance), arrived to extract silver rom Monte Calisio. The area was continuously mined or about 300 years, becoming one o the leading mining districts in Europe. Today, the Sentiero delle Canope, near Lake Santa Colomba, is one o many trails that lead to the silver mines. The large number o vertical and horizontal mine entrances shows how much these mines were exploited by these German miners in the past. Along the trail there are inormation boards describing excavation techniques and work in the mines. Suitable or everyone, it is open all year round. Ater silver extraction, rom the year 1500 onwards red, grey and white limestone, used since Roman times, was extracted also due to signicant modernization works in Trento commissioned by the Prince Bishop Bernardo Clesio. At Pila, near the village o Villamontagna close to Trento, you can visit the ancient quarries. As an alternative name, the Ecomuseo della Valle del Chiese has chosen Porta del Trentino (Gate to Trentino) as it is situated on the border with Lombardy in a pivotal location between the high mountains and the plain. It hosts a wide range o memorabilia, art and nature objects. One o its highlights is the ethnographic trail rom Rio Caino to Cimego, a 4kilometre trek o 3 hours through pine and beech woods, which ascends rom 450 to about 750 metres in altitude, and takes you past the ancient trades o traditional 44

An old mill grinds wheat, oats and corn next to a wood oven that bakes bread with a traditional avour. Another extremely interesting attraction is the restored Venetian sawmill, where visitors can learn about the ancient techniques o timber processing. Roe buck and deer can be seen in less crowded periods. Several inormation boards illustrate typical tools that are going out o use, including chisels or shaping granite, and acilities such as a calchera  (kiln) or producing lime, and a poiat (wood pile) or producing charcoal. Aternoon workshops and an evening show entitled La uga di ra Dolcino are scheduled here on 1 and 16 August. In addition, Trentino promotes the cultural heritage o 3 linguistic minorities, the Ladini o the Val di Fassa, the Mòcheni o the Valle del Fersina and the Cimbri o the Luserna plateau. The Museo Ladino di Fassa inaugurated in 2001 and designed by the architect Ettore Sottsass, houses ethnographic collections o the Istitut  Cultural Ladin, which illustrates the evolution o the Ladin people through the testimony o its material and spiritual culture rom its origins to the present day. The Istituto Culturale Mòcheno in Palù del Fersina organises exhibitions on local culture, whereas the Gruab  va Hardimbl is a medieval mine. In Fierozzo, there is the Filzerho, an ancient Mòcheno armstead that exhibits many original objects, and the Sog van Rindel, a Venetian sawmill in operation . The Centro di documentazione di Luserna , which organises conerences on Cimbri culture, is also a very popular museum that holds temporary exhibitions on various themes particularly the Great War, which will be the protagonist, on 12 August, o a conerence entitled “I cimiteri di guerra” (The War Cemetries).
