Gianni Caproni Museum of Aeronautics: What’s on Display at Italy’s Oldest Aviation Museum?

The Gianni Caproni Museum of Aeronautics is the oldest aviation museum in Italy. It was first established in Taliedo in 1927 by Gianni Caproni, an Italian aviation pioneer and founder of the Caproni aviation manufacturing company. In 1992, the museum was moved to its present location in Trento. The museum displays many historical aircraft, memorabilia, documents, and artwork. Although the number and types of aircraft on display vary depending on the rotating exhibition, around 27 planes are consistently available for visitors.
