The Trento Tunnels are just what the name suggests: two former highway tunnels reconverted into a history museum. They were built in the early 1970s to permit the speedy traversal of the city along the provincial North-South highway, running from Verona to the Brenner Pass, as part of the development of the Trento ring road.

They are less a museum than a space dedicated to history. A space primarily devoted to the local and regional: to be precise, to the Trentino’s history and population, to the reasons for its autonomy.

But without forgetting broader horizons: other histories, both larger and smaller.
