Geographical notes

Caderzone Terme is located in the central area of ​​the Val Rendena in the Trentino area. It is 55 km away. from Trento and 100 from Brescia.

Background

To affirm its independence from the centers of the Val Rendena who already enjoyed civic autonomy, Caderzone entrusted himself to the Lodron family of Castel Romano in the lower Giudicarie. Settled in Val Rendena around 1302, the Lodron nobles stood out for their violence and brutality. Men of law, as well as of arms, were able to make Caderzone prevail in all the legal disputes that arose with the other villages of the valley. Once the lordship of the fief of Caderzone was consolidated, the Lodrons held it until almost the whole of the fifteenth century. In 1490 Marco Lodron was beheaded after being captured following a siege of his fortress placed by the bishop's farmer Marchetto Bertelio the previous year. The return of three of his five children brought the country back to the Lodrons, until the death of the last, Biagio, over a hundred years old.

The Bertelli nobles of Vigo Preore succeeded the family by marriage to the last descendant. With the Napoleonic invasion Caderzone entered, with the whole valley, in the kingdom of Bavaria, then in the Italic kingdom, then in the Tyrol Habsburg. In 1822 the Bertelli family died out. On April 16, 1831 the Imperial Regia Cadastral Administration of Tione publicly auctioned the fiefdom of Caderzone. After the world wars and the massive emigration that characterized all the Rendene communities, Caderzone drew new life from the tourist development that from the 1960s progressively affected the whole valley, and has developed a good economic and entrepreneurial fabric in this sector, the which crowning was certainly the beginning of the activity of the Baths.
