Palazzo Sardagna - Cortile Rettorato

Palazzo Calepini, currently serving as the headquarters for Fondazione Caritro, dates back to the late 16th century and was built at the behest of the noble Calepini family from the Giudicarie valleys. Between 1823 and 1844, Palazzo Calepini served as the seat of the Prince Bishops of Trento. In 1999, the building was acquired by the foundation to be used as their institutional headquarters.

The stage of Teatro Sociale has been graced by the likes of Arturo Toscanini and Enrico Caruso. It has played host to Italy’s finest operas and plays, not to mention dance shows, New Year’s Eve parties and political rallies. A splendid example of Italian-style theatre, from 1819 until the 1960s, it served as the main backdrop of the city’s cultural scene. In 2000, after being purchased by the province and significant restoration works, it was returned to its former glory. The stalls, three floors of boxes and the gallery can seat up to 670 people, while the elegant rooms of the adjoining Palazzo Festi are often used for meetings and conferences.

To attend the events at Teatro Sociale, you can collect the entry tickets directly at the venue starting two hours before the event begins.

The courtyard of a former Augustinian monastery in Vicolo San Marco in Trento is now home to the Centre for International Cooperation and the OECD Centre. The first stone of the building was laid in 1273 and it has been renovated a number of times. The beautiful Augustinian cloister dates back to the time of the Council of Trent.
