The tunnels at Trento channel time and move mountains of history from their slumbering past:
"Speak, mountain, of the time we struggled awaiting the sunrise". Kurt W. Forster
An exhibition on local history commemorates World War I by offering visitors an experimental approach to the past.
To traverse the Tunnels is to set out on a march among long-buried individuals and documents.
An expanded virtual-world edition is available in Second Life and can be visited either at the digital Lab on site or from home via teleport to Gallerie della Memoria.
