Living and working in Rovereto

City life, nature and culture: what makes this area different?

Considering a move to Trentino but want to stay close to the services and convenience of a city? Rovereto and Vallagarina combine an urban centre with a wider landscape of vineyards, mountains, rivers, cycle paths and historic towns.

And Rovereto is only part of the picture. Vallagarina stretches south towards the border with Veneto, with landmarks such as Castel Beseno and Avio Castle marking the valley and its history. It is an area where culture, landscape and everyday life remain closely connected.

Rovereto is the main urban centre of the valley. Its cultural life includes theatres, historic buildings and MART, one of Trentino’s major museums, while a network of cycle routes and the surrounding landscape make it easy to move between the city and the outdoors.

The city is also home to Maria Dolens, the Bell of the Fallen, whose evening tolls have made it an international symbol of peace.

Rovereto: where industry and innovation meet

Rovereto has a long manufacturing history and remains one of Trentino’s most important centres for industry and applied innovation.

Two places make this particularly visible. Polo Meccatronica brings together companies, students and researchers working on advanced manufacturing and mechatronics. It is also home to ProM Facility, a specialist centre for prototyping, product development and applied research.

A short distance away, Progetto Manifattura is Trentino Sviluppo’s technology hub dedicated to sustainability and the green economy. Companies, start-ups, research centres and coworking spaces operate here across fields including clean energy, circular economy, sustainable mobility, biotechnology and sport technologies.

These hubs form part of a wider network connecting companies, research organisations, education and public support for innovation. Trentino Sviluppo itself is based in Rovereto and works with businesses and professionals across the province.

For people considering a move here, that means access to professional opportunities within a city that remains compact and closely connected to the rest of Vallagarina.
