Rovereto in Trentino, nature and art between Garda and Trento

In the north of Lake Garda, a few kilometers before the city of Trento, is located Rovereto. Old as most Italian cities but absolutely modern thanks to the presence of the Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art (MART) and the Fortunato Depero Museum, a futurist Trentino. Beautiful structure of the museum, designed by the architect Mario Botta.

The steel and plexiglas dome is gorgeous and amazing. Like Botta's other projects, the exterior is clad with exposed bricks and in the interior the play of light is wonderful.
There are four floors of splendor, from the cafeteria to the library, on the first floor with temporary exhibitions and the second floor with the permanent collection.

Obviously there are also works by Depero but most of his works can be admired in his Depero House Museum in the city. Already in 1957 he himself created his own museum. After the restoration, this museum was reopened in 2009, with the first floor exactly as the artist had designed it and the other two floors finished according to his thought.

Thousands of works of art that Depero decided to leave to his city and that guide us along the path of his life. Modern art has found beautiful residences in Rovereto but in the city you can also admire much older buildings.

The Castle has a long history that begins with the Castelbarco, lords of Rovereto. Subsequently, the Serenissima imprinted its mark on the building and the city. The old city center, the medieval village is located at the foot of the castle. The stronghold houses the Italian War Historical Museum with a large collection of weapons and testimonies of the First World War.

Interesting to see is also the Bell of the Fallen 'Maria Dolens', which was made with the bronze of the cannons of the Great War and which every night does hear his voice to remember the fallen of all armed conflicts.
