On Saturday 14 November 2026, the Palazzo dei Panni in Arco will host a conference tracing the town's transformation from a 19th-century spa resort to a reference point for sport climbing and outdoor activities, with some open questions on the relationship between nature and culture in a changing city. The meeting opens at 14:30 with the preview screening of the documentary «Arco, evoluzione di una città di cura», produced by Mnemoteca. This will be followed by talks by Francesca Piana, Dimitri D'Andrea and Margherita Cisani, coordinated by Sara Zanatta, on the memory of the sanatorium period, climbing practice and sustainable tourism. The public debate will be closed by the Councillor for Culture Massimiliano Floriani. The conference is organised by the Mnemoteca del Basso Sarca with the Municipality of Arco and anticipates the 33rd edition of «Pagine del Garda», the book fair and review of Garda publishing scheduled from 19 to 22 November. Free admission.
