Arte & cultura: due passi tra la storia<br />
archaeological sites in the Alps.<br />
Excavations carried out in recent<br />
decades have brought to light a<br />
series of buildings and numerous<br />
protohistoric and Roman artifacts<br />
which would seem to indicate a<br />
complex associated with religious<br />
worship. A Romanesque church was<br />
also uncovered dedicated to the<br />
patron saint of pilgrims, which is<br />
mentioned in documents up to the<br />
th<br />
late 18 century. Some of the<br />
material found is exhibited in the<br />
Museo Civico in Riva del Gar<strong>da</strong>.<br />
33 Cascata del Varone<br />
Rarità geologica risalente<br />
all'epoca del Quaternario,<br />
quando il grande ghiacciaio del<br />
Gar<strong>da</strong> stava scomparendo. La<br />
forra si addentra sinuosa nella<br />
cavità della roccia scavata<br />
<strong>da</strong>ll'acqua che precipita con un<br />
salto di quasi cento metri. Lo<br />
spettacolo si può ammirare sia<br />
<strong>da</strong>l basso che <strong>da</strong>ll'alto, con una<br />
capacità di suggestione che ha<br />
ispirato una celebre pagina di<br />
Thomas Mann, giunto qui nel<br />
1901. La costruzione all'ingresso<br />
è stata progettata <strong>da</strong>ll'architetto<br />
Maroni a<strong>da</strong>ttando un vecchio<br />
mulino.<br />
Eine geologische Rarität aus dem<br />
Quartär, als sich der große Gletscher<br />
des Gar<strong>da</strong>seegebiets zurückzog.<br />
Die Schlucht ist ganz besonders<br />
eindrucksvoll und dringt bis in die<br />
Windungen der vom Wasser<br />
ausgehöhlten Felsen vor. Der<br />
Wasserfall hat eine Sturzhöhe von<br />
fast 100 m. Dieses Naturschauspiel -<br />
man kann es entweder von unten<br />
oder von oben bestaunen - regte<br />
auch die Dichtkunst von Thomas<br />
Mann an, der es 1901 bestaunte.<br />
Der Eingang entstand nach einem<br />
Entwurf des Arch. Maroni, der zu<br />
diesem Zweck ein alte Mühle<br />
umfunktionierte.<br />
A geological rarity <strong>da</strong>ting back to the<br />
Quaternary period when the great<br />
Gar<strong>da</strong> glacier was retreating. The<br />
magnificent gorge winds down the<br />
cavity in the rock created by the<br />
water which falls almost a hundred<br />
metres. The spectacle can be<br />
admired from below or above and<br />
inspired a page in the work of<br />
Thomas Mann, who came here in<br />
1901. The building at the entrance<br />
was designed by the architect<br />
Maroni and is a converted mill.<br />
