A journey through history and words that warm the heart.
The Author's Walk is a special guided tour discovering the historic center of Trento, along an unusual and suggestive route that winds between the two squares of the Christmas Market.
The visit intertwines history and poetry, guiding participants through ancient streets, hidden courtyards, monumental palaces, and charming views, where every stone tells the past of the city of the Council.
Along the route, the historical narrative intertwines with the “author's stops”: a poetic path created by the Trento Tourism Company and Trento Initiatives Consortium in collaboration with urban artist and successful author the Poet of the Serra, where the windows of shops, bars, and restaurants light up with words becoming guardians of kind thoughts.
The aphorisms, hand-drawn by the Trentino illustrator Silvia Benedetti, accompany the journey as small gifts of beauty, inviting one to savor, smile, and be inspired. The walk leads to the Magical Garden powered by Dolomiti Energia, a place of lights and enchantment where at the corner of words everyone can leave a thought to share, before closing in Piazza Mostra. Here, at the foot of the Castle of Buonconsiglio, the lights of the Christmas Market welcome participants in an embrace of aromas and smiles to toast together with a cup of mulled wine or hot tea.
