Fondazione Museo Storico del Trentino

The Fondazione Museo Storico del Trentino (Trento Historial Museum Foundation), the municipal museum for the city and autonomous region of Trento, presents the history of the region from the end of the 18th century to the present day; this includes significant material on Trento’s experiences in both the First and Second World War, the rise of Italian fascism, local resistance to German and fascist occupation from 1943-45, and postwar violence and reconstruction.

The museum’s extensive collection includes approximately 3500 military artifacts such as weapons, uniforms, tools and equipment; archival and bibliographic funds; and a photographic archive of more than 15 000 photographs and 2000 iconographic pieces such as maps and posters.
