Trento at a glance
CLM Bell Trento is in Trento (Trentino). Outside the classroom this is where the language gets practised: at the coffee counter, in the square, at the market.
Events this year
The city's big festivals, food fairs and cultural seasons through the year. They're not just entertainment: they're the best training ground for your Italian. At a local festival you end up ordering, asking directions, chatting with locals: the real language, the kind books don't teach. If you can, line up a week of your course with one of these.
Mercatini di Natale In December Piazza Fiera fills with wooden chalets, strudel and mulled wine at the foot of the medieval walls. An Alpine atmosphere: excellent for Christmas and winter food vocabulary. | December |
Festival dell'Economia Between May and June economists and journalists from around the world hold free public talks across the city. For advanced students it is excellent for the Italian of current affairs and figures. | May–June |
Feste Vigiliane In June Trento celebrates its patron saint with a raft race on the Adige, costumed parades and markets. A lively, untouristy city festival: good for traditional vocabulary. | June |
