“Nowhere in Tyrol are there olive groves except in Arco. The view from the height of two hundred meters of the cliff of the castle on the old city and the modern garden city of Arco as well as on the fertile countryside crossed by the Sarca, which flows towards Riva and Torbole in the direction of Lake Garda until Monte Brione covers its view, is one of the most enchanting in the whole territory." - Rainer Maria Rilke
