Top exhibitions and events for those who love culture
Find out with not-to-miss appointments!
AUTUMN 2022 - It is true that every season is perfect to visit an exhibition, a museum or to attend a cultural event, but autumn is a little more so. It may be for its elegant colours, which invite reflection, or for that crisp air that makes you want to stroll through a city of art and stop in a museum or a historic building. It may be for many reasons, but we know that autumn is a season dedicated to those who love beauty, art and culture.
This is why we were not caught unprepared, and again this year we have many exhibitions, festivals and events that we are sure you will like. In this article, you will find a small selection of everything Trentino has to offer, but if you take a look at our events section you will find many others.
Let’s start with our proposals below. Enjoy your visit!
