The Power of Machines: A Journey into the 16th Century

A Dive into the Renaissance of Trentino

Immerse yourself in the heart of the 16th-century Trentino with the exhibition “The Power of Machines. Humanity, Environment, Technology in 16th-Century Trentino”, hosted at Palazzo delle Albere in Trento. From November 22, 2025, to May 30, 2026, let yourself be transported to an era of fervent mechanical ingenuity and technological innovation, which profoundly shaped the economy, society, and environment.

A fascinating exhibition path will reveal the often-conflicting implications of these epochal changes. From the printing revolution to daring astronomical explorations, from maps that redesigned the world to objects that simplified daily life, from medicine to agriculture: a thematic journey through the halls of Palazzo delle Albere, where original artifacts, rare volumes, and ancient instruments tell centuries-old stories of transformation, innovation, and resilience.
