Terre d’Adige extends north of Trento, in the plain of the Adige river and is a perfect starting point for trips in Trentino. Important archaeological findings, including a female skeleton known as "la donna di Vatte" (the woman of Vatte) which can be admired at the Scientific Museum of Trento, show that the village has been inhabited since prehistoric times. Furthermore, it has always been an important transit station due to its proximity to the Adige river. The recently restored church dedicated to the Saints Filippo and Giacomo in Zambana Vecchia is worth visiting.
The municipality is also famous for the white asparagus of Zambana, a vegetable of national fame which is still harvested manually or with traditional tools... a mouth-watering delicacy!
