Discover, Experience, Feel, Support, Choose
Forget your usual grocery run. In the square, you’ll find stories to listen to, hands to shake, knowledge and flavors to discover, and great music to enjoy.
The Square of Knowledge and Flavors is much more than a market: it’s a vibrant gathering, a meeting place where producers, artisans, experts, and curious visitors come together to share knowledge, food, and a sense of community. Every event is a unique opportunity to learn something new, sample local products, take home a mindful choice – and maybe make a new friend along the way.
And if you have something to say or share with us, there’s our Open Mic stage!
An initiative by Song of the Earth | Il Canto della Terra | la stazione del cibo, a project made possible thanks to the support of the S4T Call for Proposals—Station for Transformation/Stazione Trasformazione—of the Municipality of Rovereto, the Autonomous Province of Trento, and the Trentino-Alto Adige Region, with contributions from Fondazione Caritro, Dolomiti Energia, Keim, and Banca per il Trentino.
It was created and has grown thanks to a broad and extensive network of partnerships.
In the square, you’ll always find:
- Knowledge — hands-on, collaborative workshops for learning through practice
- Flavors — guided tastings of local and seasonal products
- Stories — firsthand accounts from producers and their supply chains
- Selections — carefully curated products to take home
- Exchange — the gathering takes place in the square and continues until 9 p.m.
Where: Piazzale Orsi – Parco della Stazione, near the Church of S.M. delle Grazie, Rovereto
When: July 9, August 6, September 10 · from 5:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. and October 4 as part of EcoLogica
THE SQUARE OF KNOWLEDGE AND FLAVORS | Thursday, July 9
🌿 Vegetable Explorations: One Vegetable, a Thousand Possibilities
A hands-on, collaborative workshop dedicated to a single underappreciated, little-known, or overproduced vegetable. Where does it come from? How is it transformed? How can we use it creatively and without waste? Through techniques, recipes, and experiments, we’ll explore it in all its forms, building together a small repertoire of ideas to bring into the kitchen every day. The goal? To avoid wasting vegetables from the garden when there’s an abundant harvest.
🗺️ What a beautiful park! Let’s Map the Parco della Stazione — with Bianca Elzenbaumer
Can we imagine the Parco della Stazione as a public space that represents us as a community? Together, we’ll map the park’s strengths and weaknesses to build a shared vision of the place.
