the Dragon’s Forest — a gentle hike among golden larch trees on Latemar’s slopes. On Alpe Cimbra, meet the Winged Dragon of Vaia, a vast sculpture made from storm- felled wood and natural debris. Destroyed by vandals in 2023, the dragon was lovingly rebuilt by artist Marco Martalar as a symbol of nature’s resilience. At Lake Ledro, the enchanting
Ledro Land Art trail showcases animal sculptures and woodland installations that fi re the imagination. Here at Lake Molveno, voted Italy’s most beautiful lake, you can embark on a fun, family-friendly trail where children can spot Sciury — a giant squirrel sculpture nestled in the forest.

ANCIENT EGYPT REIMAGINED AT YOUNG V&A, LONDON Making Egypt takes visitors on a hands-on journey through the creative legacy of the ancient Egyptians. From hieroglyphs to hip-hop, the exhibition explores how a civilisation’s art and design continues to shape our modern world.
A vow renewal is a romantic cele- bration of enduring love — a chance for a married couple to pause and say: “I still choose you.” It’s a deep- ly personal ceremony where two hearts revisit the promises once made and renew them with even greater meaning — shaped by shared memories, trials, laughter and growth. Often held on a spe- cial anniversary or after a mean- ingful chapter in life, it’s a moment to look into each other’s eyes and reaffi rm the love that’s only grown stronger with time. Rings may be exchanged again, vows rewrit- ten with wisdom and tenderness, and tears of joy shared among close friends or family. Whether it’s a quiet sunset on the beach or a candlelit gathering at home, a vow renewal is a beautiful tribute to a love that continues to bloom — proof that even after all these years, forever still feels like just the beginning.
