Folgaria (Fólgaria in Trentino Dialect,[3] Folgrait in Cimbrian[4]) is an Italian municipality with 3,161 inhabitants in the Autonomous Province of Trento in Trentino-South Tyrol.

The municipality is located on the western slope of the Magnifica Comunità degli Altipiani cimbri, near the Vallagarina, at an altitude of 1168 meters above sea level at the foot of Mount Cornetto (2060 m in the Vigolana Mountain Range), along the right bank of the Rio Cavallo, a stream that flows through the eponymous valley down to Calliano.

The municipality includes seven main settlements (Costa, Serrada, Guardia, Mezzomonte, San Sebastiano, Carbonare, and Nosellari), as well as smaller villages like Pont, Ondertol, Dori, Molino Nuovo, Forreri, Ca Nove, Molini, Peneri, Fontani, Scandelli, Sotto il Soglio, Carpeneda, Mezzaselva, Erspameri, Francolini, Fondo Grande, Fondo Piccolo, Colpi, Nocchi, Perpruneri, Tezzeli, Morganti, Cueli-Liberi, Buse, Busatti, Dazio, Prà di Sopra, and Virti, located along the Rio Cavallo and the upper Astico Valley (Buse).

The language persisted until the early 1960s, and certain expressions were still heard in the villages of Mezzomonte, Cueli-Liberi, San Sebastiano, Tezzeli, and Carbonare.

In 1510, Folgaria fell back under Habsburg control, leading to conflicts with the Trapp family, who attempted to restore their lost feudal dependence.

It is believed that the origins of the title date back to the 12th century, possibly in 1111, as part of the so-called Ghebardini treaties, which also led to the foundation of the Magnifica Comunità of Fiemme.
