 Introduzione
Come Si Arriva Plane
The most convenient airport is the one at Verona. Verona airport is a good co-hub, with connections to most major European airports. From the airport, take the bus to the train station (Verona Porta Nuova). From there it is a one-hour ride to get to Trento.
From Milan Malpensa there is a bus connection to Milano Centrale, the main station. Alternatively, there is also a train connection called Malpensa Express, but this will only get you to Milano Cadorna, a secondary station. From there you have to take the underground to Centrale. From Centrale there are relatively frequent trains to Trento, but in most cases you will need to change in Verona.
Train
Trento lies on a major railway line from Germany (Munich) to Italy through Austria. From Verona (an hour ride from Trento) you get connections to the west (Milano, France) and to the east (Venezia). The station is very near to Trento's historical centre (Piazza Duomo can be reached on foot in a few minutes). Two hundred metres from the main train station you can find the Trento Male train station, whose trains connect Trento to the Val di Non and the Val di Sole (it is not necessary to leave the main station: just follow platform 1 heading north).
Car
The Autostrada del Brennero motorway (sometimes called simply Autobrennero) goes through Trento. Exit at Trento Centro. The Autobrennero connects to the south to the Italian motorway network, and to the north with the Austrian and German network. Brenner Motorway (A22 exit Trento centro), state road 12 of Abetone and Brenner from Verona or Bolzano; state road 47 (highway of the Valsugana) from Venice and state road 45 bis della Gardesana Occidentale from Brescia and Lake Garda.
Transport
A cable car connects Trento and the village of Sardagna (600m asl), overlooking the Valle dell’Adige (the station in Trento can be found by the bridge of S. Lorenzo, the cost of a ticket is the same as that of a bus ticket).The tickets are sold at the bus station and at newsagents.
History and Culture
Chiese e Musei
The Church of Santa Maria Maggiore was commissioned by the Prince-bishop Bernardo Cles, one of the most important political and religious figures of the 16th century, and it hosted various sessions of the Oecumenical Council of Trent. The construction was entrusted to Antonio Medaglia from Como who completed his work, based on St Andrew’s church in Mantua designed by Leon Battista Alberti, within four years (1520-1524). It is built with red and white stones originating from Trento’s quarries. The main facade is defined by its arch vaulted Renaissance style entrance where the portal especially commissioned by Prince-bishop Antonio Madruzzo in 1539 can be admired. Above there is a frescoed lunette by Martin Teofilo Polacco depicting the Annunciation of Mary.
Duomo
In the center of Trento is the Piazza del Duomo, which has a beautiful Neptune Fountain (1768). The cathedral (11th-12th centuries), on the south side of the square, was remodeled internally at the beginning of the 13th century as a pillared basilica in Lombard Romanesque style; the central dome was entirely renewed in 1887-89. The Council of Trent met in the church from 1545 to 1563. The interior has 13th-14th century frescoes and numerous bishops' tombs (mostly 14th and 15th century). Under the cathedral are the remains of an early Christian church (sixth century), with a fine mosaic floor.
History Museum In Trento
The Museum documents the history of Trentino from the end of the 18th century to the end of the World War II and focuses particularly on the Risorgimento, the two world wars and the Resistence.
The Sass Underground Archeological Area
This is an area from the Roman period of 1700 square metres discovered in the basement of the Teatro Sociale and Piazza Cesare Battisti. It represents a large section of Tridentum. To be seen part of a paved street, a segment of a city wall, the remains a tower that had been transformed into an urbica door, a house with mosaics and a craft shop can all be found. There are also various rooms for conferences, lessons etc. It hosts exhibitions, shows and receptions.
“Gianni caproni” aeronautical museum of science and innovation
The Museum is located in the Mattarello airport area. It houses and displays a collection of aeroplanes and memorabilia of international significance collected by the Caproni family. The hall contains more than 20 historic aeroplanes, 9 of which are absolutely unique.
Museo Provinciale d'Arte
The Castello houses the Museo Provinciale d'Arte; among its exhibits are pictures of the months in the Torre dell'Aquila by an unknown 15th century painter, sculptures, period furniture, archeological and ethonological collections. The building also houses the Museo del Risorgimento, with relics of the struggle for the liberation of Italy, including mementos of the “irredentists” (supporters of the reunion of the Trentino with Italy) Cesare Battisti, Chiesa and Filzi, who were executed by the Austrians for treason in 1916.
Tridentine Diocesan Museum
Its origin dates back to 1902 and it was conceived not only as a place to keeep the Catherdral Treasures, but above all as reference point for the preservation of the historic, artistic and ecclesiastic heritage of the Diocese: a purpose still valid today. The visit goes through a detailed selection of museum items. The section dedicated to paintings illustrates the local production, from the Middle Ages to Neo-classicism, and the influence of neighbouring Lombard, Venetian and Austrian schools.
The Society Tridentine Alpinists Museum
The Society Tridentine Alpinists is the heir of the Alpine Society of Trentino, founded in Madonna di Campiglio in 1872, to promote knowledge of and, at the same time, respect for the Trentino mountains. Although it is small, the museum illustrates, with original documents, photos yellowed with age and old mountaineering, equipment, the origins of the SAT, the waymarking of the first mountaineering and excursion paths, the creation of high altitude refuges and so on.
Historical buildings and monuments
On the northeast side of Trento is the Castello del Buonconsiglio, former residence of the prince-bishop, from 1811 to 1918 a barracks and since then a museum. The 13th century Castelvecchio, built around the oldest part, the massive round tower, was remodeled in Venetian Gothic style from 1475 onwards. The Magno Palazzo, a magnificent Renaissance building with arcaded courtyards and frescoes by Romanino and Dosso Dossi was built in 1528-35, and a linking wing added in 1686. The Castello del Buonconsiglio is the symbol of the temporal power of Trentino's bishops and of Trento's Italian character. The Castello del Buonconsiglio, in the courtyard of which the Austrians in 1848 put to death the 21 Lombard volunteers who fought for the annexation of Trentino to Italy and, during the Great War, the martyrs of Trentino's irredentism, Cesare Battisti, Fabio Filzi and Damiano Chiesa, acted as the residence of the bishop-princes up until the Principality's secularisation in 1803. It dominates the city from a rocky spur and today still seems to protect it, despite the disappearance of the walls that ran from the castle all around the entire built-up area.
Giardino Pubblico
Via Belenzani joins the main street of Trento, Via Manci, which has also a number of fine palaces, as well as the beautiful Baroque church of San Fancesco Saverio. Further north in front of the station is the Giardino Pubblico, with a monument to Dante (1896) 58ft high, and a monument to Alois Negrelli (1799-1858), an early advocate of the Suez Canal. On the west side of the gardens stands the 12th century church of San Lorenzo.
Modernist Architecture
Trento also has some interesting modernist architecture, including the train station and the central post office, both by rationalist architect Angiolo Mazzoni. In particular, the train station (1934?36) is considered a landmark building of Italian railways architecture and combines many varieties of local stone with the most advanced building materials of the time: glass, reinforced concrete, metal. The post office was once decorated with colored windows by Fortunato Depero, but these were destroyed during bombings in World War II. Other buildings of that time include the Grand Hotel (by G. Lorenzi) with some guest rooms furnished with futurist furniture by Depero, and the “R. Sanzio” Primary School build by Adalberto Libera in 1931?34.
Places of Interest
Eventi
Every summer, twenty-five wineries open their doors to invite tourists in for guided tours and displays, tastings and meetings with musicians performing against the unusual backdrop of wine casks and bottles. A winning formula which over the last three years has proved immensely popular with music fans and wine lovers alike.
The Sounds of the Dolomites - Summer
“The Sounds of the Dolomites” is a series of concerts devised and organised by the A.P.T. del Trentino. The extraordinary backdrop of the Dolomites becomes the unusual but ideal stage for soloists and groups of international stature who can thus experiment with a new approach to music and to their instruments, establishing an immediate rapport with the audience.
