The Alpini Festival and the Village That Adapts

Sofia spends a Saturday in Molveno watching the village prepare for the Alpini Festival, navigating the lake closure and the wildfire's smoke, and finding a quiet moment at the Baita Pineta with a slice of apple strudel. She reflects on how a small alpine town shapes its summer around disruption, and what that means for her September plans. ☕ Enjoying the show?
