Baselga di Pinè is the most important economic, tourist and cultural centre of the plateau of Pinè, in the province of Trento, immersed in an environment that offers to its visitors fascinating corners embellished by its woods, lakes and mountain trails and also proposes a series of well-equipped sports facilities.
The town's name derives from the Latin word "basilica", a meeting place for public discussions.
The discovery of coins and tombs of Roman origins, in the district of San Mauro, attest that the area subdued a period of Roman domain. The first documents that mention the existence of the village date back to the XII century and report, inter alia, that it was part of the possessions of the Cathedral of Trento. In 1253, the town became part of the Magnificent Community Pinetana, whose domain lasted for more than six centuries, until 1875.
