Stage 02
Rovereto-Ala
From the city of silk to that of velvet: this stage offers an itinerary dedicated to fine fabrics. Rovereto is a city to visit, rich in history and culture, home of Fortunato Depero, a great exponent of the Futurist movement; the MART museum complex and the War Museum, rich in historical artefacts and documents dating back to the two world wars, are worth a visit.
Returning to our itinerary, after crossing the ancient Borgo Sacco district and crossing the Zigherane bridge over the Leno stream, we return along the Adige river. The route winds partly on the right bank and partly on the opposite bank of the Adige river, crossing the vineyards of the lower Vallagarina.
Ala is a beautiful centre, known for its velvet manufacturing.
