Mattarello: living in a village with town services

Mattarello is a suburb of about 5000 inhabitants which rises on the slopes of Vigolana Mount, 2 kilometres south of Trento.

The historical sites of the village are located around the zone of the churh and higher with the Caseggiato della Decima and Torrefranca castle.

In the course of the years the village has been growing very much, spreading out towards Trento and Adige Valley, but the presence of Casteller Hill enabled the village not to be incorporated by the town, as it instead happened for most of the neighbouring villages of Trento.

This let us find in Mattarello a centre which still maintains a village identity even if it rises behind the capital, using daily and easily the services that this nearness offers us
