Civezzano 的故事
Civezzano on the Hills East of Trento
Civezzano lies on the hillside of Monte Calisio, a few kilometres northeast of Trento, in a position that links the Adige valley floor with the road climbing toward Pergine Valsugana. The municipality borders Trento, Albiano, Fornace and Pergine Valsugana itself, a location that makes it a natural crossing point between the provincial capital and the Alta Valsugana. The municipal territory, covering roughly sixteen square kilometres, includes, besides the main village, numerous hamlets such as Seregnano, Bosco, Sant'Agnese, Garzano, Bampi, Barbaniga, Mochena and Roverè, spread across a sunny slope where cultivated fields alternate with broadleaf woods. Although now part of Trento's wider urban area, Civezzano has kept the character of a farming town, with small, clearly distinct hamlets.
The Parish Church of Santa Maria Assunta, a Sixteenth-Century Jewel
The most precious monument in Civezzano is the parish church of Santa Maria Assunta, regarded as one of the finest sacred buildings of historic Trentino. Archaeological excavations have revealed the foundations of an earlier place of worship dating to the fifth century, enlarged in the Carolingian period between the eighth and tenth centuries; the building is first documented in a deed of 1202. In the early sixteenth century, a Marian image venerated inside the church drew a steady stream of pilgrims from across the Prince-Bishopric, so much so that Prince-Bishop Bernardo Clesio ordered its complete reconstruction, begun between 1531 and 1533 and completed in 1537 by the same craftsmen who had worked on Santa Maria Maggiore in Trento. The result is a late Gothic and Renaissance facade in red limestone, a portal with fluted columns, an octagonal-spired bell tower and a single-nave interior with ribbed vaults, sixteenth-century frescoes of the Venetian school, canvases attributed to Jacopo and Francesco Bassano, and a marble altar of Venetian workmanship.
A Notable Lombard Centre
Civezzano has its roots in the early Middle Ages: it was a Lombard, and later Frankish, centre of some importance, first mentioned in a document of 845. The standing reached by the local Lombard community is shown by the discovery, at the end of the nineteenth century, of an aristocratic burial at Foss, the so-called grave goods of the Prince of Civezzano, today kept at the museum in Innsbruck: silver and iron fibulae, studs and belt fittings crafted with a refinement that scholars have come to identify as a distinct decorative style, known as the Civezzano style, current among Lombard elites across the Alpine arc. The site, set apart from the ancient parish church, is interpreted by archaeologists as the burial ground of a community of Arian faith. This historical phase, brought back into public attention in recent years by exhibitions on the Lombards in Trentino, remains one of the town's strongest identity markers.
Between Trento and the Valsugana, on Monte Calisio
The landscape of Civezzano is one of gentle foothills, where the vineyards and apple orchards of the lower slopes give way, higher up, to the woods of Monte Calisio, also known as Argentario for the silver mines active there between the twelfth and fifteenth centuries, when this mining district was among the most important in the Prince-Bishopric of Trento. From the highest points of the municipal territory the view opens onto the Trento basin and the Adige valley, while to the east the landscape gradually leads toward the hills that separate the city from the Alta Valsugana, an area that includes Lake Caldonazzo and Lake Levico, not far away but outside Civezzano's own municipal territory. This hinge position, between the urbanised plain and the first sub-mountain elevations, makes the municipality a convenient starting point for those wishing to head either toward Trento or toward the Valsugana, while remaining in a quiet, rural setting.
The Canòpe, the Ecomuseum and Local Traditions
The mining legacy of Monte Calisio is today showcased by the Ecomuseo dell'Argentario, created through cooperation among the municipalities of Trento, Civezzano, Fornace, Albiano and Lavis to tell the story of the canòpi, miners of Germanic origin who dug the canòpe, the old silver galleries regulated by one of the oldest mining statutes in Europe, the Liber de Postis Montis Arzentarie contained in the Codex Wangianus. The Sentiero delle canòpe, created together with the Società degli Alpinisti Tridentini, crosses the woods near the small Lake Santa Colomba and leads to some of the mines currently under study and restoration, while guided visits occasionally allow descent into the Canopa delle Acque. Alongside this heritage sits the quieter one of the many small hamlet churches, such as San Valentino in Garzano and San Sabino in Seregnano, and the remains of the Austro-Hungarian fortified complex built to defend the area on the eve of the First World War, evidence of a town that, while set apart from the main tourist flows, has much to offer those who take the time to visit it.
