Ala

Few cities in Trentino-Alto Adige/Südtirol have a history as closely tied to silk-velvet production as Ala. Set in the Vallagarina section of the Adige Valley, this southern Trentino town developed as a textile centre, and the wealth of that trade remains visible in the Renaissance and Baroque palazzi of its compact historic core. Ala’s lanes pass painted façades, courtyards and churches, while the slopes of the Lessini Mountains rise east of the valley and the Adige flows nearby. Palazzo de’ Pizzini von Hochenbrunn houses the Museo del Pianoforte Antico, adding a musical chapter to the town’s heritage.
