Rovereto

From Switzerland, back to France and through the French alps by way of Tunnel du Mt. Blanc...

To Italy on the other side...

A storm a-comin'...

Up in the Italian Alps to the province of Trento...

Into Rovereto... (long drive)

We played a place called The Hub, which looks like some kind of... office/workshop space; people "looking busy" with their laptops on wide tables. Even after asking them what their purpose was, I still can't explain it... So I had to look it up on their website, here's what it says (italian google-translate): "We are facing a global crisis in the economic, social and ecological, innovative solutions are needed to address the numerous challenges that present themselves every day. The Hub was created to facilitate these solutions by creating a global network of collaborative spaces in which entrepreneurs and social innovators get together to make their ideas and plans for a sustainable society. We believe there is a shortage of good ideas in this world, but a serious lack of support structures for concrete form. The Hub offers you the chance to work, meet people, learn new things, create networks of collaboration and take off your projects . All this within a space equipped, welcoming and stimulating contact with a community of local and international innovators."

Um. Yeah. The Hub network expands everywhere in the world, from Amsterdam to Helsinki to Johannesburg to the likes of Halifax, Melbourne, Sao Paolo, Tel Aviv and... Rovereto? Alrighty then.

Oh yeah, I forgot. So it looks like we're indeed performing there tonight, it's on the calendar after all...

In the basement, where there's a nice arched space...

It was strange, yet interesting... It was a Monday evening after all, we don't complain on Mondays. On a side note, I may have one of the worst pizzas there (yes, in Italy). The espressos were great though!
