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.
