A real cultural
tourism experience
in two towns and beyond
Just two years after being introduced, the “TrentoRovereto. Towns of Culture”
card is already a consolidated point of reference for those who visit the two towns
of art and culture in the Valle dell’Adige. The tourist and cultural offer launched to
ideally bring together the two areas and their history has proved to be, and will
always be, an effective means of attracting visitors to the Valle dell'Adige.
Trento offers a variety of attractions including splendid Renaissance palaces, the
majestic Castello del Buonconsiglio and the new MUSE, one of the major natural
science museums in Italy designed by Renzo Piano, as well as Roman and
medieval remains, the Renaissance splendours of the Council of Trent and
evidence of the troubled wars of the 20th century.
Rovereto has just as much to offer in terms of innovation and traditions. The
architectural gem of the Mart is just one of the treasures of this cultural centre in
the Vallagarina, which also include the Museo della Guerra, the Campana dei
Caduti and the Museo Civico. In the “Town of Peace” visitors can follow an ideal
route that spans the Roman period, medieval times, Venetian rule and the 18th
century, the period when Rovereto became an essential stopover on trips made
by intellectuals and artists, including Amadeus Wolfgang Mozart.
In addition to Trento and Rovereto, there are the villages along the river Adige,
and castles, vestiges of the past, dotted along the valley. Not to mention the
museums, palaces and international festivals. All this is “TrentoRovereto. Towns
of Culture”, a new cultural project intended to overcome any local rivalry and
provide a winning synergy. It is a new way of exploring the local area, which is
neither political nor geographical but mainly based on culture and tourism.
With the “TrentoRovereto Card” is quicker and easier to visit the museums,
palaces and castles, take part in festivals, eat in the best restaurants and
purchase quality products.
The Departments of Tourism and Culture of the Autonomous Province of Trento,
the municipal councils and the tourist boards of Trento and Rovereto, and
Trentino Tourism and Promotion all aim to promote this opportunity as a means of
extending our cultural horizons so that we can learn to enjoy a place along with its
excellent cultural, gourmet and commercial features.

Museums
Art, history, science and traditions. Culture plays a leading role in tourist
attractions for visitors to the local area.
The major new feature is the MUSE, the new science museum building designed
by Renzo Piano, which now houses the contents of the Museo Tridentino di
Scienze Naturali. It invites visitors to reflect the facts of nature and importance of
paying close attention to the relationship between nature and the environmental
changes caused by human activities. Another outstanding museum is the Mart,
one of the most prestigious museums of modern and contemporary art in Italy. It
houses a rich collection of art including Futurism, Pop Art, Arte Povera and
Realism. An additional highlight of the cultural offer is the Castello del
Buonconsiglio, the largest monumental complex in Trentino Alto Adige, which
holds very popular exhibitions every year. It also hosts an absolute masterpiece:
the extraordinary international Gothic fresco Ciclo dei Mesi (Cycle of the Months)
at Torre Aquila. Visitors must not miss the Museo degli Usi e Costumi della Gente
Trentina, the leading centre of local ethnography in Italy, and the Gallerie di
Piedicastello, a unique exhibition area housed in two former road tunnels. Many
other museums in the district match the most diverse interests of visitors.

The MUSE - Science Museum | Trento
The MUSE is a dream come true due to substantial investment in culture by the
Autonomous Province of Trento. It is an open site, where scientific and technological knowledge is the key to examining the relationships between man and
the environment while choosing sustainable development for the future.
The new museum, inaugurated in summer 2013, offers a new approach for
visitors: multimedia exhibits, interactive games, first-hand experimentation and
culture mixed with practical activities are the distinguishing features of visits and
a valid tool for informal learning. The architectural design by Renzo Piano is an
outstanding added feature: the profile of the building recalls the surrounding
mountains, with a balance of open and closed spaces that add charm and
prestige to the entire exhibition location. Inside, displays feature the principle of
“zero gravity”, namely, lightness and transparency. Once through the entrance,
visitors are the protagonists of a multi-sensory tour, which follows the shape of
the building, from top to bottom, as if on a mountain peak.
The MUSE also coordinates other museums including the Museo Gianni Caproni,
the Museo delle Palafitte di Ledro, the Stazione Limnologica on Lake Tovel, the
Museo Geologico delle Dolomiti in Predazzo, the Giardino Botanico Alpino and the
“Terrazza delle Stelle” astronomical observatory situated in the Viote valley of
Monte Bondone.

Museo Caproni | Trento
The museum is definitely a must not only for those who love flying and the history
of civil and military aeronautics but also for those who are simply interested in
history. Founded in 1927 by the engineer Gianni Caproni and his wife Timina
Guasti, it can easily be considered the oldest aeronautical museum in the world.
museocaproni.it
Museo delle Palafitte di Ledro | Ledro
In 1929, this fascinating archaeological site was discovered when the level of the
lake dropped and thousands of poles surfaced, revealing evidence of important
Neolithic sites. Today, the Museo delle Palafitte is home to over 4,000 everyday
objects and organises educational activities and archaeology workshops.
palafitteledro.it
Giardino Botanico Alpino - Terrazza delle Stelle
Osservatorio astronomico | Viote Monte Bondone
The Giardino Botanico Alpino is one of the oldest in the Alps. It is home to over one
thousand species of alpine and officinal plants, as well as plants in extinction. The
Observatory is the ideal place from which to observe the starry sky with
experienced experts.

Castello del Buonconsiglio | Trento
Provincial monuments and collections
Castello del Buonconsiglio is the pride and joy of the artistic, historic and
architectural heritage of Trentino. The highest tower of the castle overlooks the
town of Trento like a sentry.
Once the ancient residence of the Prince-Bishops, from the 13th to the late 18th
century, it houses precious permanent collections and magnificent frescoes,
including beautiful ones by Romanino, as well as the extraordinary Ciclo dei Mesi
at Torre Aquila, making it one of the most popular destinations in the
“TrentoRovereto. Towns of Culture” district. The splendid building is divided into
three sections: the Castello Vecchio, the Magno Palazzo and the Giunta
Albertiana. The branches of Castello del Buonconsiglio are Castel Thun in the Val
di Non, the symbol of the ancient grandeur of one of the most powerful noble
families of Trentino, Castel Beseno, situated between Rovereto and Trento, the
largest fortified complex in the province, and Castel Stenico, a treasure trove of art
and history that overlooks the Giudicarie area and the Castel Caldes in Val di Sole,
currently being restored.
buonconsiglio.it
6
Museum of modern and contemporary art
of Trento and Rovereto | Rovereto
The symbol that makes the Mart recognisable worldwide is its enormous steel
and glass dome, designed along with the rest of the building by the Ticinese
architect Mario Botta, which welcomes visitors leaving them literally speechless.
The museum displays over 20,000 works from the major artistic movements of
the 20th century, such as Futurism, Novecento Italiano, Metaphysics,
Abstractism, Pop Art, Arte Povera, all the way to the most recent art currents. In
addition to its exhibits, it hosts the exhibitions of current artists and has a rich
programme of events, activities and workshops that attracts visitors from all age
groups. Of great interest are also the two branches of the Mart, the Casa d'Arte
Futurista Depero, located in the heart of downtown Rovereto, and the Galleria
Civica di Trento based in Trento.
mart.tn.it
Casa d’Arte Futurista Depero | Rovereto
Fruit of the truly original vision of the artist Fortunato Depero is the only Futurist
museum in Italy. Here visitors can admire paintings, cloth tarsia, furniture,
furnishings, toys and applied art objects as well as the artist's acclaimed
production of posters and publications.
mart.tn.it/casadepero
7
Galleria Civica di Trento | Trento
With its reopening the town re-acquires an exhibition space, enriched with the
collections and expertise of the Mart, allowing visitors to rediscover the artistic
heritage of Trentino. The activity of the Gallery, that investigates the languages
or art and architecture, is focused on specific themes that range from the more
contemporary movements to projects of the 19th and 20th centuries. It also
hosts the seat of ADAC, the Archive of Contemporary Trentino Artists, whose
local research work is fundamental to the training, production and outlooks of
Trentino artists.
mart.trento.it/galleriacivica
Museo Storico Italiano della Guerra | Rovereto
The museum, inaugurated in 1921 by King Victor Emmanuel III, is a place of
memory established just after the end of the Great War to keep alive the memory
of the war it and of the many patriots who died.
The documentation at the museum fixes all aspects of the war in our memory,
including cultural and social, making the it one of the major and most complete
museums in Europe, with its rich collection of uniforms, photographs, paintings,
weapons and other war relics. In a dark tunnel at the foot of the castle, open from
May to November, visitors can observe European artillery dated 1915-18.
museodellaguerra.it

Le Gallerie | Piedicastello - Trento
Today, the Gallerie di Piedistallo, through which thousands of cars used to pass,
recount the history of Trentino and its community. This is done through a variety
of forms of expression and tools, including state-of-the-art technology and
painstaking historical research by the Trentino History Museum Foundation,
which coordinates the exhibition space. The two tunnels, covering 6,000 square
metres, host events, temporary exhibitions and workshops.
Rather than a museum the Gallerie are a new way of portraying a community's
past and the small and important events that have characterised Trentino in
recent centuries. They focus on the tragedy of the wars and the social and
cultural changes that have taken place in this extremely beautiful borderland.
museostorico.it

Museo degli Usi e Costumi della Gente Trentina
San Michele all’Adige
By examining folk traditions we can learn about fundamental values in order to
face the present and approach the future: this is the message of the Museum of
the Customs and Traditions of the Trentino People, which not only exhibits
folklore objects, just like the majority of European folklore museums, but also
carefully examines the work culture of peasants and artisans, presenting them in
a global context. All this is thanks to its founder, the Trentino-Bohemian scholar
Giuseppe Šebesta, who, in the late 1960s, decided to house the museum in the
ancient fortified monastery, the Prepositura Agostiniana in San Michele all'Adige.
Once inside the entrance gate, a maze-like path takes visitors to the heart of the
building, to a large number of exhibition rooms arranged according to thematic
areas that include agriculture, woodworking, metalworking, textile crafts,
livestock breeding, sheep farming, hunting, as well as religious and folklore
traditions. The museum is an active institution, which, among other things,
collaborates with local communities on projects concerning cultural restoration
and enhancement.

Fondazione Opera Campana dei Caduti | Rovereto
What could be more symbolic than a bell cast from bronze cannons? A great
allegory that demonstrates and advocates universal peace among all men: this is
Maria Dolens, the Bell of Peace, which overlooks the town of Rovereto and the
Vallagarina from the top of Colle Miravalle hill. The Bell of Peace, the largest
pealing bell in the world, tolls a hundred times every evening to commemorate
those killed in all wars, invoking peace and brotherhood among peoples. Ideated
by Don Antonio Rossaro, the enlightened priest of Rovereto, it was cast in Trento
in 1924 using bronze from the cannons of the belligerant countries of the First
World War. Over the decades, the bell has been recast twice. It was blessed in
Saint Peter's Square in Rome by Pope Paul VI in 1965.
fondazioneoperacampana.it
11
Museo Diocesano Tridentino | Trento
Just behind the Fontana del Nettuno visitors can find the entrance to the Museo
Diocesano Tridentino, housed in Palazzo Pretorio. Its rooms host a rich heritage of
art and culture that ranges from the 11th to the 19th centuries, consisting of
paintings, wood sculptures, winged altars, rich hangings, illuminated
manuscripts, iconographic illustrations of the Council of Trent, precious jewellery,
ancient lacework and sumptuous Flemish tapestries.
In the ancient Palatine Chapel a door leads to the bishops’ loggia near the
Cathedral choir: from the loggia one can see the Cathedral interior. In the area
underneath the entrance of the Diocesan Museum there is the archeological
excavation of Porta Veronensis, the monumental entrance door to the roman
city of Tridentum (built around the middle of the first century A.D.).
For those who love sacred art, a visit to the branch of the museum at Villa
Lagarina, with the display of the noble Lodron family's treasures, is also
recommended.
museodiocesanotridentino.it
12
Underground Tridentum | Trento
Every Italian town with an ancient history has a hidden wing or underground
space, where its pulsating heart lies and where past relics of a Roman town can
be visited. Trento also has “underground depths”. The many sites of Tridentum
currently open to visitors include the S.A.S.S. (Underground Archaeological Site),
the Porta Veronensis, the archaeological area of Palazzo Lodron and the early
Christian Basilica below the Duomo.
Museo delle Palafitte di Fiavé | Fiavé
The Museo delle Palafitte di Fiavé is one of the 111 locations that comprise the site
dedicated to the prehistoric pile-dwellings of the Alps, now a UNESCO World
Heritage Site. Extraordinary wooden artefacts, evidence of remarkable construction techniques, videos, installations and a large plastic structure lead visitors
to the amazing atmosphere of a pile-dwelling village dating back 3,500 years.
Museo Retico Sanzeno | Sanzeno
The museum hosts a collection of original artefacts from eras dating from the
11th century BC to the Roman period. The museum guides visitors along an
educational tour called the “Well of Time”, which starts at the bottom of the
building and continues along a spiral route that covers the entire history of the
Val di Non.
trentinocultura.net/archeologia.asp
13
Fondazione Museo Civico | Rovereto
In the village of Santa Caterina in Rovereto, visitors can delve into the fascinating
world of archaeology, from prehistoric to medieval times, in search of relics of the
past. These can be found at the Museo Civico in Rovereto: founded in 1851, it is
one of the oldest in Italy. The museum currently houses permanent naturalistic
and historical collections, a planetarium, the Lego Education Innovation Studio, a
copious library, as well as educational activities including workshops on
archaeology, botany, palaeontology, geology and robotics. Another urban space
coordinated by the Museo Civico is Palazzo Alberti Poja, an architectural gem,
which currently houses the works of the Quadreria Comunale (Municipal Picture
Gallery), as well as many other permanent and temporary exhibitions.
museocivico.rovereto.tn.it
Museo del Fossile - Giardino Botanico | Brentonico
A few kilometres from Rovereto, visitors can go hunting for fossils dating back to
ancient times. The Museo del Fossile houses many such finds, where over one
thousand specimens are attractively displayed in the vaults of Palazzo Eccheli
Baisi. The museum is situated on the slopes of Monte Baldo, also known as the
Garden of Europe due to its immense wealth of flora, which can be admired by
visitors in the Renaissance-style botanical garden.

Castles
Symbols of power and evidence of centuries-old history, ancient mansions and
splendid castles are so widespread throughout the valleys of Trentino that they
are one of the main tourist attractions. Many of them are located in strategic
positions that were ideal for guarding territories and defending properties. The
ancient Castello del Buonconsiglio, with its incredible historic heritage, is the
symbolic monument of the town of Trento. It houses a famous cycle of frescoes at
Torre Aquila. With such a large number of castles in Trentino there really is
something for all tastes. The impressive fortress of Castel Beseno, which
overlooks the entire Vallagarina, houses fascinating artefacts of the ancient art
of war, whereas Castel Thun, in the Val di Non, is an architectural gem, recently
restored to its former splendour. The Castello di Stenico, in the Valli Giudicarie, is
located in a strong position overlooking the communication routes to the valley.
Its history is linked to the Prince-Bishops of Trento. Then there is the Castello di
Rovereto, a medieval building and important historic site, and the Castello di Avio,
owned by the FAI (the Italian National Trust) with a splendid cycle of medieval
frescoes.
17
Castello del Buonconsiglio
One of the symbolic monuments of Trento is the famous Castello del
Buonconsiglio, an attractive location for a museum. It forms part of an exhibition
network that includes three other castles in Trentino: Castel Thun, Castel Beseno
and the Castello di Stenico.
Castel Thun
The castle is an architectural gem situated among the apple orchards of the Val di
Non. In 2010, after painstaking restoration, this princely residence in Trentino
returned to its ancient splendour. Today, it still preserves intact its original
furnishings.
Castel Beseno
The largest fortified complex in Trentino is situated about half way between
Trento and Rovereto. It is a true time machine for visitors, which does not
comprise electronic devices but stones, lintels, battlement walkways and
underground passages.
Castello di Stenico
The Prince-Bishops of Trento used this castle to exert their political control over
the Valli Giudicarie. The castle offers a new exhibition tour dedicated to the
applied arts, offering visitors evidence of the creativity of the craftsmen who
have worked in the local area throughout the centuries.
buonconsiglio.it
18
Castello di Rovereto
An impressive medieval fortress, the Castello di Rovereto is a major historic site.
Situated in a strategic position, on a rocky hill on the right bank of the river Leno, it
looks like an imposing military stronghold. The first nucleus was built by the
nobles of Castelbarco from the 13th - 14th century as the seat of their feudal
power in the Vallagarina. The castle has been restored and now houses the
Museo Storico Italiano della Guerra: for over ninety years, it has been collecting
and preserving documents about WWI. The museum organises temporary
exhibitions dedicated to the memory of the Great War and modern conflicts.
museodellaguerra.it
Castello di Avio
The high keep and boundary wall of the Castello di Avio, perched on the slopes of
Monte Vignola, dominate the Valle dell'Adige. The castle became the property of
the Castelbarco family and was later taken over by the Venetians in 1411. Since
1977, it has been owned by the F.A.I. (Italian Environment Fund), which has
carried out complex restoration work. Inside it is adorned with 14th century
frescoes, including the series on warfare, as well as the “Room of Love”.

19
Festivals
The word “festival” originally meant a “period of festivities”, mainly referring to
forms of entertainment and fun, with particular emphasis on music. With the
addition of contents and nuances over the centuries, this word now
encompasses a wide range of meanings, yet it retains its original etymological
core. Today, it means festivities but in the broad sense, referring to moments of
entertainment concerning various aspects, including music, cinema, science,
exhibitions, theatre, contemporary dance and economics.
The Trento and Rovereto area offers a variety of festivals: the FilmFestival della
Montagna, Festival Economia, music festivals as a tribute to Mozart, reflections
on the world of education, artistic forms of expression and contemporary culture
with Futuro Presente and Oriente Occidente, as well as a journey back to ancient
times with the Rassegna del Cinema Archeologico. Such a variety, embracing a
wide range of interests and subjects, offers something for everyone.
21
Trentofilmfestival | Trento
This film festival dedicated to the mountains, to exploration and to adventure is the
most long-lived in Italy and one of the oldest of its kind in the world. Its most popular
section is the “International Contest” attracting documentaries and short films from all
over the world. In the months of April and May of every year, the TrentoFilmfestival
attracts to Trento thousands of fans from all over Europe, offering visitors the chance
to preview the best films dedicated to the mountaineering world. Here you can meet
the mountaineering protagonists of the past and present and listen to live accounts of
memorable feats in the Himalayas, dramaticevents, achievements and curious facts.
TrentoFilmFestival will be accompanied by Montagnalibri, the International Review
of Mountain Publications.
trentofestival.it
Festival dell’Economia | Trento
The Festival Economia, held every spring between May and June in Trento,
focuses on the desire to understand the mechanisms that control the flow of
international wealth and the dynamics behind the major changes that are taking
place in Europe and the world. The real star of the festival, even more than
important economists, experts of global renown and Nobel Prize-winners, is the
general public which crowds into the debates, asking the speakers pressing
questions.
festivaleconomia.eu
22
Futuro Presente | Rovereto
In an era characterised by communication and a melting pot of languages, the
Festival Futuro Presente held in June, is an opportunity to examine and explore
interaction between different forms of expression concerning the arts and
contemporary culture. This is presented with the support of prominent
directors, screenwriters, actors and composers. In addition to meetings and
shows, film screenings and artistic performances are scheduled. This path of
research and reflection, open to the world, focuses on new input from far-away
cultures.
festivalfuturopresente.it
Festival Mozart | Rovereto
The bond between the famous composer and Trentino is reintroduced in the
Festival Mozart, organised in Rovereto in the month of August. The festival is
based on the music of this composer from Salzburg and deeply investigates historic
and cultural aspects. In 1769, Rovereto was the first stop on the journey to Italy of
young Wolfgang Amadeus, who was 13 years old at the time, and accompanied by
his father. At Christmas that year, in the rooms of Palazzo Todeschi, Mozart gave a
remarkable concert, delighting the local nobles with his genius.
festivalmozartrovereto.com
23
Oriente Occidente | Rovereto, Trento
Oriente Occidente is one of the major European festivals of contemporary dance
and dance theatre. It is scheduled in Rovereto and Trento at the end of August,
beginning of September. Different genres and forms of expression come
together not far from the Mart with shows, meetings and discussions that often
focus on the intercultural dialogue between different peoples, starting with the
assertion that diversity is the mainstay around which art revolves and creates
new and attractive forms of expression.
orienteoccidente.it
Settimana Mozartiana |Rovereto e Vallagarina
For five days, in September, the music of the famous composer from Salzburg
can be heard in the villages of the Vallagarina as part of the Settimana
Mozartiana, perfectly strengthening the connection of these places to the
composer and his life. Now, following the distant notes that cannot be forgotten
over time, the music of Mozart will return in a refined series of concerts as a
tribute.
mozartitalia.org
24
Educa | Rovereto
Educa, organised in September, is a national event on education that arises
from the wish to emphasise the importance of education, which is the driving
force for balanced progress. In this current period of contrasts, Educa aims to
bring together and encourage reflection in all those who do not wish to passively
take part in the chorus of complaints about the education crisis, the delegitimization of schools, parental incompetence, uncontrollable children and
adolescents. The event will focus on the theme of education, looking at the
future with courage, hope, awareness, dreams and emotions.
educaonline.it
Rassegna Internazionale del Cinema Archeologico
Rovereto
Held every year in October, the Rassegna Internazionale del Cinema
Archeologico is an important international venue for directors, archaeologists,
researchers and students. First held in April 1990, it reintroduces the important
testimony and aspects of the mysterious nature of human history. The language
of the cinema is used here to decipher the testimony of the past.
museocivico.rovereto.tn.it
25
Theatrical and musical seasons
There is something for all tastes. The theatre has always provided the most
complete form of human communication and the “TrentoRovereto. Città di
Culture” district has much to offer in this respect, including the Seasons of Prose
of Trento theaters, Teatro Sociale and Auditorium Santa Chiara, and Rovereto
with the Zandonai Theatre, a real pearl of the eighteenth century, re-opened
after a long renovation. On this stages are host the biggest names on the Italian
theatrical scene. Classical, chamber and symphonic music concerts are organised
