In South Trento there is a beautiful mountainous landscape, also full of green valleys and hills: this is the Vallagarina, a land of history, nature and fine wines.
One of the most famous places in the area is Rovereto, famous for being a leading cultural centre in the past as today.
The fifteenth century style castle dominates, with all its grandeur, the city and the surrounding valley. It was built under the rule of Venice and today it houses the War Historical Museum, featuring a large collection of documents and relics dating back to the First World War. The Military Memorial of Dante Castle, which houses the remains of over 20,000 soldiers, including the ones of Damiano Chiesa and Fabio Filzi, and the big Peace Bell attest how these lands still bear, in the hearts and memories, the wounds of a war that has deeply marked the history of all of us.
As further confirmation of its cultural role, Rovereto is the city where the MART is held: it is the most important museum of modern and contemporary art which contains many works by great names such as Depero, de Chirico, Balla, Morandi, Fontana, Johns, Warhol and Kiefer. Another remarkable museum is the Civic Museum, divided into seven sections, which exhibits several collections representing the history and the study of the territory.
Beseno Castle represents then a suggestive venue for important cultural and artistic events. It is a complex built in the Renaissance style, for defence purposes, in a location where it is possible to lengthen the look down to the whole surrounding valley.
