Sitting on the banks of the River Adige, Trento is the capital of both the region of Trentino Alto-Adige/South Tyrol and of the autonomous Trentino Province.
As with much of the Trentino region, Trento itself has a very Austrian feel to it and wasn't officially a part of Italy until 1919, shortly after the end of World War One. As you walk around the city centre the Austrian influence is very noticeable in terms of the architecture, the food and language. |
