Situated in the centre of the Adige valley, the regional capital is not far from the splendid Dolomites and the several nearby lakes.
Its extraordinary sixteenth-century palaces placed in the historic centre, Trento strikes by its Renaissance appearance; actually, the first human local settlements date back to the prehistory, but a proper residential complex had appeared during the Roman Times, when Tridentum became an important link between the lake of Garda and the Dolomites, Venezia and Verona, Bolzano and Innsbruck.

Rich in history, the town is really famous for the noturius Council from 1543 to 1643 by the Pope 3rd Farnese. Its several monuments you can behold, the city deserves to be visited without any doubts, among tall buildings and narrow streets, ideal both for the culture-lovers and for the people who like to be reborn far from the same old routin.

A city of noble appearance, Trento presents several historic, artistic and cultural witnesses, added to the prehistorical findings dating back to the Neolithic. Walking along the citizen roads, amongst the squares characterized by the painted palaces in the city which has extraordinarily been able to combine mediaeval peculiarities with the frosty Reinassance ones, will make you feel as if you were in a very particular context, amongst the Romanic, Gothic, Reinassence, Barique architectures.

And it's just walking in the centre, that you can behold the beautiful mountains hiding the splendid valleys of Trento of the Valsugana, Anaunia, Giudicarie and of the Avisio. Trento, beacuse of its geographical position, even presents the most effective peculiarities of two different populations: the will to be modern from the italian side, clean and punctual from the austrian one.
