4 Marocche<br />

Le Marocche di Dro sono considerate la più vasta frana dell'arco<br />

alpino. Sono costituite <strong>da</strong> un deposito detritico di tredici chilometri<br />

quadrati formato <strong>da</strong>l materiale staccatosi <strong>da</strong>lle pareti delle<br />

montagne al ritiro dei ghiacci che occupavano la valle. I primi<br />

eventi franosi risalgono probabilmente a oltre centomila anni fa,<br />

mentre gli ultimi sembrano <strong>da</strong>tabili in epoca storica. Le Marocche<br />

sono tutelate come importante biotopo.<br />

Die Marocche von Dro sind vermutlich der größte<br />

Bergsturz im Alpenraum. Sie bestehen aus 13<br />

qkm Moränenablagerungen, die sich von den<br />

Bergwänden beim Rückzug der im Tal<br />

befindlichen Gletscher lösten. Die ersten<br />

Steinlawinen gingen aller Wahrscheinlichkeit nach<br />

vor über 100.000 Jahren ab, während die letzten<br />

aus historischen Zeiten stammen könnten. Die<br />

Marocche stehen als Biotop unter Naturschutz.<br />

The Marocche of Dro are considered the most large<br />

scale landslide of the entire Alps. Consisting of a<br />

detrital deposit measuring thirteen square kilometres,<br />

this material broke off the mountain sides during the<br />

retreat of the glacier which occupied the valley. The<br />

first landslides probably took place over a hundred<br />

thousand years ago, while the latest seem to be<br />

traceable to the historic period. Le Marocche is<br />

protected as an important biotope.<br />

5 Pietramurata e la Torre Guaita<br />

Il toponimo Pietramurata sta praticamente a connotare un masso<br />

fortificato <strong>da</strong> mura, come del resto testimonia l'antica Torre Guaita,<br />

ovvero il fortilizio costruito a guardia del territorio e della campagna<br />

ai confini della contea d'Arco. Con il trascorrere dei secoli, e grazie<br />

alle opere di bonifica, attorno alla torre che si eleva sulla modesta<br />

roccia è sorto il paese omonimo, oggi assai rinomato per i suoi<br />

vigneti e la produzione del tradizionale Vino Santo.<br />

Der Ortsname Pietramurata deutet praktisch auf<br />

eine aus Stein gemauerte Befestigung hin, wie<br />

auch der uralte Turm Guaita bezeugt, d. h. auf<br />

eine Befestigung zur Überwachung des Gebiets<br />

und der Ländereien an den Grenzen zur<br />

Grafschaft Arco. Im Laufe der Jahrhunderte und<br />

<strong>da</strong>nk der Sanierungsarbeiten um den Turm, der<br />

sich auf einer Felsnase erhebt, entstand dort der<br />

gleichnamige Ort, heute besonders renommiert<br />

wegen seiner Weingärten und der Erzeugung des<br />

bodenständigen Vino Santo.<br />

The place name Pietramurata, or walled stone,<br />

basically describes a boulder fortified by walls, as<br />

can be seen from the ancient Torre Guaita, or the<br />

fortalice built to watch over the territory and the<br />

countryside on the borders of the county of Arco.<br />

With the passing of the centuries, and thanks to<br />

restoration work around the tower which rises on<br />

this modest rock, the town of the same name<br />

came into being. To<strong>da</strong>y it is renowned for its<br />

vineyards and the production of the traditional<br />

wine known as Vino Santo.<br />
