Parameteru is a small municipality located in the province of Trentino-Alto Adige in northern Italy. The town lies at an elevation of about 200 meters above sea level, surrounded by the mountainous terrain characteristic of the region.

The history of Parameteru dates back to the 12th century, when the area was first mentioned in regional tax records. During the Middle Ages the village developed around a defensive tower, remnants of which still stand in the town square. In the 19th century, Parameteru became part of the Austrian Empire, and after World War I it was incorporated into the Kingdom of Italy following the Treaty of Saint Germain. Subsequent decades saw the construction of a small church and the establishment of local artisanal workshops, particularly in the production of textiles and woodcarving.

Economically, Parameteru is primarily based on agriculture, with a focus on olive cultivation and small-scale mixed farming. Tourism also contributes to the local economy, as visitors come to explore the historic center, enjoy regional cuisine, and take advantage of outdoor recreational opportunities in the surrounding hills. Public services in the municipality include a primary school, a community health clinic, and a municipal library. The town maintains a partnership with a nearby community in Switzerland, fostering cultural exchange and joint environmental initiatives.
