LAGO DI GARDA AT THE BASE OF THE ITALIAN ALPS IN TRENTINO.

Our History
Our club was established in 1982 with a group of Trentino immigrants living in Denver, and adopted the title "Tirolesi-Trentini" because of a large number of original members that came to America before the end of World War 1. To honor both pre- and post-war inhabitants of the region, we named our club "Tirolesi Trentini del Colorado". Through the years, we have accomplished many cultural events, fundraisers, and community outreach with other Italian organizations. We strive to continue our path!

our roots

Beginning about 100 years ago and up through the end of the First World War, our present homeland, "The Autonomous Province of Trento," was under the rule of Franz Joseph, Emperor o the Austro-Hungarian empire. During this period, all school children were required to learn their ABC's, read and write, and do their numbers. These skills served immigrants to the United States well, helping them preserve their proper names and the names of their hometowns. Because of the mixture of countries making up the Austro-Hungarian Empire, there was a blending of cultures. Of particular importance to us were the Austrian and German influences, which are still reflected in our food and language. Upon the conclusion of World War 1, the Treaty of St. Germain, signed on September 10, 1918, reduced the Austro-Hungarian Empire by 4/5. One part of this area, known as Sud Tyrol in Italy, became "The Trentino"
