No, not documented anywhere except in my computer (and I have a firewall).
That's because one is on private land and the landowner said he would rather it was kept quiet. Another one is brand new and probably will end up in a guidebook (when finished).
The other two or three are esoteric sorts of places - one on a bronze age archeological site so not bolted.
Most are still under development, which is another reason to keep them quiet (very anoying to have folk rolling up at the crag while you are trundling loose blocks). And they are all up around our village, Cadine, just outside Trento (and all very small by Arco standards).
In reality there are numerous similar places all down the Sarca valley - occasionally you hear about them or even find them. One that I had discovered and that recently "went public" is the Cosina crag now in the new edition of the Arco sport guide. (I am talking about crags for youngsters, you understand. Just near the Cosina is an amazing, wildly overhanging but still secret crag.)
If you decide to come up this way you could get in touch and I would be happy to show you some good beginners' routes (good "first lead" type climbs) - some overhanging nasties too, for the big boys. But note in advance - the crags around Arco are huge, some over 1000 m, my crags are not much more than 10 m. (Although there are some two pitch trad routes, come to think of it, and some short easy trad lead routes for learning, the latter more or less unique in this area).
