Welcome to Serravalle, a hamlet of the municipality of Ala located in the heart of Vallagarina, in Trentino! This small village is situated on the banks of the Adige river, surrounded by beautiful vineyards and olive groves.
The history of Serravalle
Serravalle has a long history dating back to the Christian Emperor Maximilian I of Habsburg, who ordered the demolition of the old fortress of the village to facilitate the passage of imperial troops.
During the First World War, Serravalle was the place where negotiations took place for the Armistice of Villa Giusti in Padua. Austro-Hungarian envoys appeared in front of the Italian lines in 1918 to begin negotiations for the end of the conflict.
The village was also an autonomous municipality from 1920 until 1928, when it was merged with the municipality of Ala.
