Founding
We were founded on Feb. 9, 1980 during a visit to the Bay Area by Mr. Bruno Fronza. Initially with only 30 members, it has grown to more than 160. A few members live in the city of San Francisco, with the majority now located throughout Northern California and Nevada.
Membership is nominal, and we work to support youth education and engagement in Trentino. Join us!
Our Vision is…
To be a thriving, multi-generational community that honors Trentino heritage and culture while embracing the evolving traditions and contemporary lives of our members in the San Francisco Italian Consular district. We create an inclusive space for all who share an affinity with this rich culture.
Our Mission
We are a volunteer-driven social club that builds a strong, connected community for descendants of Trentino immigrants in the San Francisco Consular District, and all who appreciate Trentino culture. Through vibrant events, programming, and intergenerational connections, we create opportunities to meet, share ideas, and celebrate what makes us unique—both as Trentini and as residents of this region. Honoring our heritage while embracing the future, we strive to foster meaningful relationships, strengthen our community, and provide a welcoming, enriching space for all.
