Trento is the capital of the Autonomous Province of Trento (part of the Trentino-Alto Adige/Südtirol Region) and the centre of government administration in this area.

Situated on the Adige river and surrounded by high mountains, notably Bondone and Paganella, the city of Trento is the meeting-point of various valleys and stands on the main roads that lead from Lake Garda, Verona and Venice up to the Dolomites and the Brenner Pass.

A city of many towers and spires, of austere appearance but hospitable and friendly, with a rich heritage of Romanesque, Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque art and architecture, Trento was the capital of the ruling Prince Bishopric for more than 800 years and, from 1545 to 1563, the site of the imortant Council of Trento.

The city, with its numerous and many organizations promoting the arts and research, is a major centre for tourism in the surrounding province of Trentino.

Mount Bondone, rising midway between the Mediterranean Like Garda and the rugges Dolomites, is a fully-equipped tourist resort. After only a half-hour drive from the city, summer visitors can enjoy walks and mountain excursions in alpine environment of green woods and pasture with an astonishing variety of mountain flora. In winter, Bondone offers skiers a well-designed system of downhill slopes and cross-country tracks at every level of difficulty and all with spectacular views of the Brenta Dolomites.
