Another beautiful place in the Dolomites (forgive me, I have not traveled so much...).
Here we are inside the Paneveggio Pale San Martino Natural Park. This is a protected natural area of Trentino-Alto Adige. Its purpose is to protect the natural and environmental characteristics, promote the scientific study and social use of environmental assets. In Paneveggio there is a forest made up mainly of spruce also called "Forest of the Violins". The trees of this forest have particular qualities due to slow growth, exposure to the sun and the right mix of humidity and heat; these qualities make them resonant, or trees endowed with a wood that is able to propagate and amplify the sound in an exceptional way. It seems that Stradivari himself went here several times to personally choose the raw material with which to build the sound boxes of the his prestigious violins. At the end of October 2018, the "Vaia" storm cut down about half of the forest heritage, but the recovery of the destroyed area has already in advanced phase and since last autumn there are planted of new spruce trees from nurseries. Happy New Year to all of you!
