Once the seat of the provincial and regional councils, this splendid room inside the Palazzo della Provincia Autonoma di Trento (formerly the Imperial Hotel Trento) takes its name from the artist who designed, furnished and fully decorated it between 1953 and 1956 — Rovereto-born Fortunato Depero, whose artistic trajectory spanned Futurism, Cubism and Abstract Art, resulting in his unmistakable style.

Beyond abstention: young people's hope at the test of democracy

The palace was built shortly before 1740 on the initiative of the noble Trentini family. The façade, developed in height and characterized by a sober balcony, is among the most elegant of the eighteenth century in Trentino. The interior rooms were decorated between 1750 and 1765 by the Veronese painters Giorgio Anselmi and Orlando Fattori, the Bolzan painter Carl Henrici and the Milanese painter Pietro Antonio Bianchi. Also notable are the exuberant white and gold stucco and the majolica stoves in rococo shapes.Palazzo Trentini is now the seat of the Council of the Autonomous Province of Trento, with the Presidency and all the offices of the entity. The Sala dell 'Aurora, which will host some of the Festival's events, is considered the Palace's most prestigious venue. It is dominated by a large vault decorated with fake architecture and frescoed around 1750 with the Triumph of the Dawn, an allegory of the rise of the Trentini family, by an excellent Venetian school artist whose identity is still disputed by scholars.

The stage of Teatro Sociale has been graced by the likes of Arturo Toscanini and Enrico Caruso. It has played host to Italy’s finest operas and plays, not to mention dance shows, New Year’s Eve parties and political rallies. A splendid example of Italian-style theatre, from 1819 until the 1960s, it served as the main backdrop of the city’s cultural scene. In 2000, after being purchased by the province and significant restoration works, it was returned to its former glory.
The stalls, three floors of boxes and the gallery can seat up to 670 people, while the elegant rooms of the adjoining Palazzo Festi are often used for meetings and conferences.To attend the events at Teatro Sociale, you can collect the entry tickets directly at the venue starting two hours before the event begins.

Standing in the shadow of the ancient ramparts, for a long time Piazza Fiera was the beating heart of the city's markets and commerce, hence its name (which means “fair” or “market”).
The wide open spaces make Piazza Fiera ideal for hosting large business events, as well as cultural and musical gatherings. It serves as an important intersection for the city’s public transport, and the underground multi-storey car park means it is easily accessible by car.

None out of code

Palazzo Sardagna, current home of the offices of the Rectorate of the University of Trento, is one of the masterpieces of Mannerism and early Baroque in Trentino. Dating from the 16th century, the building is built around a large central courtyard, the largest among those found in the city's historic buildings. From the exterior, walking through the entrance hall embellished with heraldic coats of arms, one enters the courtyard punctuated by a double order of loggias and long galleries.
