Ville del Monte is a widely scattered fraction of the Trentino municipality of Tenno and consists of six individual districts named San Antonio, Calvola, Lago di Tenno, Mattoni, Pastoedo and Canale. The Ville del Monte are north of Riva del Garda , above the castle and the main town of Tenno on a winding, but well-developed road towards the Ballino Pass .
Canal
Canale is a district of Ville del Monte opposite the Bocca Magnone , which has survived the centuries without major changes. On the southern slope of Monte Misone there are closely interlocked stone houses of a strikingly uniform Trentino architectural style.
In 1967 the painter Giacomo Vittone opened his studio in Canale as one of the first “new citizens” when the village was largely deserted. Today the Casa degli Artisti is available to painters and sculptors from the region for undisturbed work in a nostalgic atmosphere.
Every year at the beginning of August, a one-week medieval village festival ( Rustico Medioevo ) takes place in Canale . There is a wide range of entertainment, from theatrical performances in costumes, based on old paintings, rural Trentino singing performances to sumptuous delicacies from local cooking pots. In addition, artists from the region appear with a variety of surprises to entertain the population and guests. The series of events now has a permanent place in the cultural life of Trentino.
Canale is a member of the I borghi più belli d'Italia association (The Most Beautiful Places in Italy).
