The Risonanze Festival

In Malborghetto-Valbruna, in the heart of the Valcanale, the Risonanze Festival brings music back to its place of origin: the forest. This is where the Val Saisera spruce trees grow, renowned for the quality of their tonewood, which is used by luthiers around the world to craft musical instruments. It is from this connection between nature, craftsmanship, and music that a festival has emerged capable of telling the story of a region through sound.

Concerts in the woods, performances, walks, talks, exhibitions, and workshops introduce the public to the history of the resonance spruce and the expertise of those who work with it. The instruments thus become the meeting point between the forest and people: the wood that grows in Val Saisera takes on new life in the hands of luthiers and musicians, ideally returning to the place from which it came.

The festival invites visitors to experience Valcanale in a slow and immersive way, connecting culture, landscape, and community. Music is not an element added to nature, but a way to listen to it and understand its history, along with the artisanal skills that, over time, have transformed a local resource into a world-renowned product of excellence.

Risonanze is thus a festival in which the forest becomes part of the music: a place to trace the origins of sound and discover how a tree, artisanal knowledge, and a region can travel far and wide through the instruments that find their voice in that wood.
