eTNo – Trentino Ethnography Festival, 6th year

Trentino can boast about one hundred small museums and its Museum of the habits and customs of the people of Trentino in San Michele all’Adige is going to celebrate its 50 years of activity.

It was in fact founded in November 1968, when a folk revival tide in Italy was just beginning to question the excesses, the wastes and the many new injustices of the economic boom, trying rather to safeguard and bring to the fore local cultures, traditions, and the spirit of places.

The "Ethnography Festival", also called “eTNo”, proposes two days of events (at San Michele all'Adige), and takes place in the courtyards and in the cloister of the old convent, featuring old music, dances and ancient instruments, figurative art, decorated eggs, antique prints, felt and velvet, cheese and cereals, cornmeal mush, cinemas, seeds, hemp and wool, antique varieties of wine and oil, syrups, minerals and vegetables, woods and meadows, cows and goats, bees, ointments and goblins, legends and games, and much more.
