Monte Baldo Educational Guide Enhances Learning for Students

A book designed with students in mind. Monte Baldo, a perennial destination for researchers and enthusiasts, is viewed through the lens of a schoolchild thanks to a valuable publication issued by the Regione Veneto and created by Giacomo De Franceschi, Silvia Benincà, and Elena De Franceschi.

The volume, born from the initiative of Veneto Agricoltura and its managing director Giorgio Carollo, advances along the path of environmental education, providing students and teachers alike with a practical tool filled with information, ideas, illustrations, and data.

Contents and Objectives of the Volume

An instructional text that offers the opportunity to learn about what is called the Hortus Europae through excursions and educational games.

In essence, Monte Baldo is presented as a large outdoor museum that allows young visitors to discover the fascinating world of nature on this mountain chain, which at two thousand meters altitude embodies horizons that transition from Mediterranean climate to alpine mountain environments.

The volume, approximately 150 pages long, rich in drawings that are simple yet scientifically accurate and rigorous, features six routes within the areas of Monte Baldo managed by Veneto Agricoltura.

Book Structure and Teaching Methods

For each itinerary, details are provided on the route, locations, travel times, difficulty level, trail markers, age groups, recommended periods, and educational interest.

Additionally, the main elements of the Baldense territory are briefly described in a popular, divulgative style.

The book, engaging and easy to consult, was presented at the Malcesine library in the presence of Mayor Giuseppe Lombardi, Culture Councillor Ferdinando Sbizzera, Giorgio Carollo of Veneto Agricoltura, and the three authors.

Availability of the Publication

The publication, which is not commercially available, can be requested directly from the Malcesine municipal library.
