Grand Hotel Trento, an iconic building constructed between 1939 and 1942 by engineer Giovanni Lorenzi, is a remarkable example of rationalist architecture and represents a historical transition between the medieval and modern city.
In 2001, the property was acquired by Bruno Frizzera, a nationally renowned accountant and advisor to Minister Vanoni, who entrusted him with studying the first Italian income tax declaration. He dedicated much of his life to tax education, developing an innovative “tax system.”
Deeply connected to his territory and to Trento, after six years under the Boscolo hotel chain, Bruno decided in 2007 to take over the hotel to “give it back” to the city.
His vision focused on a warmer, family-oriented management style, restoring a renewed tradition to such a historic place. He involved his son-in-law Piergiorgio Stefenelli and his son Francesco, who embraced the challenge with enthusiasm.
The sixth-floor terrace, offering stunning views over the rooftops of Trento, is named “Frizzera”, in memory of its owner, who loved admiring the city from above.
