Bezzecca

Bezzecca is a municipality in Ledro Valley located at approximately 697 meters in elevation, nestled between the Alpi Ledrensi mountains and dense forests. The village consists of scattered houses spreading along the slope, with narrow lanes and traditional stone buildings that blend into the mountain landscape.

The settlement developed as a mountain farming community adapted to difficult terrain. During World War I, the area became a battlefield between Italian and Austro-Hungarian forces, leaving lasting marks on the landscape.

The name originates from the Latin 'betia', meaning swamp, and the parish church continues to serve as the village center. Local celebrations and farming traditions reveal how mountain life has shaped the identity of those who live here.

The place is accessible by car via the Brenner motorway A22, with bus connections from Rovereto train station. Summer and early autumn are the best times to visit, when mountain trails are easy to walk and weather remains stable.

A local museum displays artifacts and documents from two pivotal periods in Italian history. Visitors can see objects connected to both Garibaldi and First World War combat.
