Responsibilities and functions
The Trentino History Museum Foundation originates from the Trentino Museum of the Risorgimento, inaugurated inside the Buonconsiglio Castle in 1923. Over the years the Museum underwent various relocations and in May 1945 the Museum took on the name Museo del Risorgimento e della lotta per la libertà.
In 1995, the Museum took on the name of Historical Museum in Trento and further broadened its thematic and territorial scope. With its transformation into a Foundation it incorporated and strengthened the previous areas of interest of the History Museum in Trento, which participates as a founding member in the Foundation itself.
Through study, research, training and dissemination activities, the Foundation aims to contribute to the construction of Trentino's history, in its institutional, social, economic, cultural and territorial dimensions, and to the enhancement of cultural pluralism.
