Visit to Castel Ivano, Trentino Alto Adige - Discovering Italy with alequandro!

avatar

TITOLO POST STEEMIT FICO copia.jpg

Hi everyone, even if I haven't been in touch lately, I haven't stopped exploring, in fact today I want to show you a little pearl that I recently discovered.

Every time I took the Valsugana state road 47 to go to Trentino Alto Adige, I looked at a castle on the right and said to myself: sooner or later I have to go there!

The time has come a few days ago.

The weather wasn't very promising so without taking any risks and traveling a long way by car, I turned towards Castel Ivano, a town of just over 3000 inhabitants, made famous by the castle which gave its name to the town.

ITA

Ciao a tutti, anche se nell'ultimo periodo non mi sono fatto vivo, non ho smesso di esplorare, infatti oggi vi voglio mostrare una piccola perla che ho scoperto di recente.

Ogni volta che per andare in Trentino Alto Adige percorrevo la Strada statale 47 della Valsugana, guardavo sulla destra un castello e tra me e me dicevo: prima o poi devo andarci!

Qualche giorno fa è arrivato il momento.

Il meteo non era molto promettente così senza rischiare e percorrere molta strada in auto, ho svoltato per Castel Ivano, una cittadina di poco più di 3000 abitanti, resa famosa per il castello che ha dato il nome alla paese.

It is a very quiet and little frequented village located at 506 meters above sea level.

When I parked the car right in the center of the town, the only noise I heard was that of the fountain embellished with a very original sculpture.

ITA

Si tratta di un paesino molto tranquillo e poco frequentato posto a 506 metri sul livello del mare.

Quando ho parcheggiato l'auto proprio nel centro del paese, l'unico rumore che sentivo era quello della fontana abbellita da una scultura molto originale.

A few meters away there is a votive aedicule, continuing a little further you go down the asphalt road and you begin to see a beautiful panorama that I would never have expected.

ITA

A pochi metri c'è un'edicola votiva, proseguendo ancora un po' si scende lungo la strada asfalta e si inizia a vedere un bellisimo panorama che non mi saperei mai aspettato.

While walking it is impossible not to look at the imposing castle that towers above everything.

ITA

Mentre si cammina è impossibile non guardare il castello imponente che sovrasta ogni cosa.

IMG_6951.jpg

It had just rained, the air was fresh and clean.
A breath of wind gradually cleaned the sky and a new and satisfying landscape opened up around me.

ITA

Aveva appena piovuto, l'aria era fresca e pulita.
Un filo di vento puliva poco a poco il cielo e attorno a me si apriva un paesaggio inedito e appagante.

IMG_6953.jpg

There was a nice stone path that went through a vine and a large pasture, a really relaxing walk.

ITA

C'era un bel sentiero di sassi che attraversava un vitigno e un ampio pascolo, davvero un passeggiata rilassante.

IMG_6954.jpg

A very simple church could be glimpsed, well inserted in that landscape context.

ITA

Si intravedeva una chiesa, molto semplice, ben inserita in quel contesto paesaggistico.

IMG_6955.jpg

Every now and then I turned to look at the castle, I had to visit it!

ITA

Ogni tanto mi voltavo a guardare il castello, dovevo per forza visitarlo!

IMG_6956.jpg

IMG_6957.jpg

IMG_6959.jpg

One look over the fence and I was no longer alone, there were horses, cows and sheep to keep me company!

ITA

Uno sguardo oltre lo steccato e non ero pià solo, c'era cavalli, mucche e pecore a farmi compagnia!

I had almost reached the church that I had noticed previously, but before that another photo of the castle could not be missing: the branches of the trees as a frame and a bit invasive in this beautiful perspective, the village cemetery.

ITA

Ero quasi arrivato alla chiesa che avevo notato in precenza, ma prima non poteva mancare un'altra foto al castello: le fronde degli alberi a fare da cornice e un po' invadente in questa bella prospettiva, il cimitero del paese.

IMG_6976.jpg

And finally here is the church... I made a visit to appease my curiosity, however I didn't stay long...

ITA

Ed ecco finalmente la chiesa...una visita per placare la mia curiosità l'ho fatta, tuttavia non mi sono trattenuto molto...

IMG_6978.jpg

IMG_6979.jpg

Walking back towards the castle entrance I met a local man and sadly he informed me that the castle was closed for a wedding celebration! What bad luck!

ITA

Tornando verso l'ingresso del castello ho incontrato un uomo del posto e purtroppo mi ha informato che il castello era chiuso per i festeggiamenti di un matrimonio! Che sfortuna!

IMG_6980.jpg

However, I went towards the entrance and found this sign with the contacts for requesting a guided tour.
The castle is a private residence, so to visit it you need to contact the owners first!

I just had a taste of this fascinating place, I will definitely be back to visit the castle too!

ITA

Sono andato comunque verso l'ingresso e ho trovato questo cartello con i contatti per richiedere una visita guidata.
Il castello è una dimora privata, quindi per visitarlo è necessario contattare prima i proprietari!

Ho avuto solo un assaggio di questo luogo affascinante, sicuramente ci tornerò per visitare anche il castello!

This village is situated in such a picturesque landscape. I can imagine having a cup of coffee in the morning on a balcony with such views.

The castle is impressive. Have you been inside too? I know that many castles in Italy are private and you can't visit them. Is this also one of such castles?

Thank you for sharing!

I thought the same! How nice it must be to wake up with that view!
Unfortunately the castle was closed for a wedding, and you can only access it by reservation.
I will visit it sooner or later for sure!
