THE VENUE
Rovereto is a charming city situated in northern Italy. Situated in the 
valley of the Adige River and surrounded by the majestic Dolomites, 
Rovereto enjoys both a spectacular natural setting and easy access to 
major metropolitan areas in northern Italy and central Europe. The 
Trentino region is a favorite of hikers, mountain climbers, and bikers,
