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 />
