The Castle of Torre dei Sicconi (Tower of the Sicconi clan) is situated on the foothills south of the village of Caldonazzo. It was founded in 1201.
The castle was destroyed by troops from Verona and Vicenza in 1385.
The Cultural Heritage Department of Trento (office of archaeological heritage) has conducted excavations and restoration works between 2006 and 2008.

That data was used for a virtual reconstruction of how the castle may have looked like 600 years ago.
During the next weeks we will publish nine chapters of a movie we've made, explaining the long way from archaeological excavation to virtual reconstruction:
Torre dei Sicconi - Caldonazzo - Monte Rive -
The rebirth of a lost castle.
We start today with an appetizer: The 90 seconds long trailer of the project.
