In Arco, the restoration work on the historic park of Villa Angerer is in full swing, with completion expected by autumn. This initiative, launched last February under the direction of the Superintendency for Cultural Heritage, aims to restore architectural and stone elements of the 19th-century garden, such as fountains and terraces. The project has received funding of approximately €120,000 and also includes the safeguarding of tree specimens by the Provincial Service for Employment Support and Environmental Enhancement. During a recent presentation, the Provincial Councillor for Culture, Francesca Gerosa, emphasized the importance of the park as a unique heritage site, destined to become a cultural space for the community.
Alongside the work on the park, further interventions are being planned to give new life to the villa itself, with potential cultural uses. Collaboration with the University of Trento is already underway, involving preliminary studies to assess the integration of the Caproni Collection into the architectural complex. With an additional investment of €250,000 expected for hydraulic and plant improvements, local authorities aim to restore both historical significance and functionality to the grand park, thereby promoting a shared project that engages various institutions and local associations.
