Gianni Caproni Museum of Aeronautics

The museum displays 26 aircraft and hundreds of aviation artifacts in a 1,400-square-meter building next to Trento Airport.

Giovanni Battista Caproni and his wife Timina Guasti Caproni established this museum in 1927 as Italy's first private and aviation museum.

The institution preserves the legacy of early Italian aviation through aircraft, technical documentation, and aviation-related artistic collections.

Located 5 kilometers south of Trento in Mattarello, the museum provides full wheelchair access and receives approximately 18,000 visitors annually.

The collection includes the only remaining Fokker D.VIII aircraft in existence, though its original wings were lost over time.
