For such weather I recommend Trento. Even though the temperature is the same as everywhere, the city itself is filled with greenery - I was there last week and comparing to e.g. Bologna it was much more bearable.

Also if you disregard the signs while climbing to Cesare Battisti's monument and go through the tunnel meant for cars(which are allowed only at certain hours) you'll experience a few minutes of much needed cooling.

Greenery definitely helps. I live in Southern California where it can get very hot and my new apartment complex is full of trees and solar panels. It almost feels cool and damp when you're in the shade even if it's 38+

Looks like trento is much much cooler than bolzano even tho bolzano is further north, (bolzano 40s in July, trento high 20s) is that true every year?

Yes. Bolzano is curiously one of the hottest cities in Italy during the summer.

Unable to tell, because my presence in Italy, though frequent, is typically short, and I usually stay in Bologna and venture no further than 150km from it - that visit to Trento was an exception.

You really want to cool down some, Cortina d'Ampezzo is nice - and of course stunningly beautiful.
