Folgaria, Mountain commune in Trentino, Italy.

The municipality of Folgaria extends across 71 square kilometers at an elevation of 1,169 meters, encompassing six main residential districts and numerous smaller settlements.

In 1150, the Bishop of Trento granted Folgaria the status of 'magnifica comunità', establishing its administrative autonomy and setting foundations for local governance.

The annual commemoration on August 15 at Zonta alpine pasture remembers 17 people executed by Nazi forces in 1944, preserving local wartime memory.

Folgaria contains 100 kilometers of ski runs within the Skiarea Alpe Cimbra, offering winter activities from December through March for skiers of different skill levels.

The municipality holds a Guinness World Record for the longest wooden bench, positioned in front of the Cassa Rurale bank, demonstrating local craftsmanship.
