Experience in Trento, Italy by Irina

What is it like to live in Trento? Would you recommend it? What is the city like?

It is a small, fresh and green city in northern Italy. It's basically a student city - you meet students from all over Italy. It's not very loud but there is a lot going on - conferences, seminars, festivals, politicians attendings, etc. Particularly, at the beginning of June, there is the "Economy Festival" that has Italian politicians, Ivy League professors gathering and many more.
