Pieve lies on the western shore of Lake Ledro, but the turquoise waters of the lake are not its only attraction. Among its picturesque streets are hidden traces of the history of the village and the Ledro Valley.

As its name reveals, Pieve has been the centre of the valley since ancient times. Since 2010, the villages of the Ledro Valley have joined in a single municipality whose town hall is hosted in Pieve. It is here that the first holidaymakers arrived and where the first association for tourism promotion was formed back in 1892!

The photographic route The Memories on Display crosses all the streets of Pieve. It is a real journey into the history of the village and its inhabitants to discover the Ledro Valley from a different perspective.

The Church of the Annunciation is the main one in the valley. It is here that the entire population gathered on solemn occasions such as the Pentecost mass. Its onion dome bell tower testifies to the importance of exchanges between the German and Italian worlds that have always characterised Trentino. The Oratory of San Giuseppe, behind the church, hosts photographic and artistic exhibitions throughout the summer. The Foletto Museum tells the story of the Foletto pharmacy, which since the nineteenth century has been producing medicines, syrups, and liqueurs with herbs from the Ledro Valley. Its most famous product is Picco Rosso, a liqueur (61°!!) made with strawberries and raspberries.

The San Michele fair takes place every year in September since the Middle Ages on the occasion of the end of the alpine pasture season in September. The breeders and their animals are still the undisputed protagonists, but over the years the fair has turned into a true festival with plenty of food and music.
