Trento, also known in German as Trient or in English as Trent, is a major city in the Trentino region of northern Italy. Known as "Tridentum" under the Roman Empire, Trento would become a bishopric of the Catholic church, and the 1545-1563 Council of Trent was held by Pope John XXIII with the goal of fighting against Protestantism and reforming Catholicism. After 1363, Trento and the County of Tyrol became parts of the Habsburg domains after years of being a part of the Holy Roman Empire, and Trento switched hands between the First French Empire and the Austrian Empire during the Napoleonic Wars, with Austrian rule being confirmed after Napoleon I's 1814 defeat. In 1918, after the end of World War I, Italy annexed Tyrol, and Trento became an Italian city. In January 2016, Trento had a population of 117,317 people.
