### 5/5 — Masks!

*2025-09-28*

Wow! Never knew about those ‘beautiful’ masks I’ve always seen. Now I will always know what the beak is about. 

I am a sommelier and thou I knew all the way a wine barrel has been used. Again, wow! To give shelter …may this never be relived.

### 5/5 — A superb (and convenient) way to plunge quickly into the fascinating history of Trento

*2020-11-26*

This is a superb (and convenient) way to plunge quickly into the fascinating history of Trento. It’s an interesting alternative to tours led by a tour guide. In fact in some ways I like this better: I can go at my own pace. And all the images and information are there on my iPhone to keep, so I can go back over sections that my aging memory didn’t quite absorb. And I can go back over things either in the streets of Trento at the various locations that feature in the app, or in my cafe with cappuccino at hand. The whole thing is well designed, straightforward to use, elegant, with authoritative content engagingly presented. For me, as someone slowly learning Italian, another plus is the choice of three languages (English,Italian, German), so I can easily flip between English and Italian and do some language learning as well. What a find! What a pleasure!
