The highlight of our stay in Rovereto was certainly a visit to this magnificent Museum of modern and contemporary art. The building itself is a spectacular architectural structure, but its collection is even more exciting. Even for those who don’t appreciate the modern art, it is a very interesting and informative museum with over nine thousand paintings, drawings, sculptures and other exhibits. The focal point of the collection is futurism, represented by work of great artists such as Balla, Depero and Prampolini.

Family owned distillery, passion of what they do every day oozes through their dialogue and discourse. An amazing family history taken to the next level, they love to accompany you through all aspects of their grappa I have liquor making. Not a conventional tourist stop, but it really should be. Nested on the hilltops and very close to the freeway exit, it should be a required cultural and historical stop. From tasting everything that they have in the house, your journey down Marzandro Lane will never be forgotten!

I was a bit apprehensive in driving up the steep climb to the castle, but once on the road up, it was not too bad at all. An impressive historical monument, which one should visit preferably in the morning before the heat strikes. Proper walking shoes is a requirement to walk the steep walkway to the Castelo It's worthwhile to watch the very informative film of ca 25 minutes before exploring the Castelo. It is also impressive to learn and see just how much work, reconstruction effort had taken place over the years. Very well kept and beautiful greens between the walls. Huge grounds where one can roam about and explore. There is sanitary facilities and a Cafe for refreshments. The owners spoke English and served us a" killer" Panini and Aperol!!!

Along with Filippo Marinetto, Fortunato Depero might have been one of the two primary artists in the Futurist movement. The author of one of its manifestos, Depero was born in Rovereto and went on to become an internationally significant designer and artist. Futurism was one of the first modernist movements & is still an important style in Italy. The museum is a small place devoted to his work. Well worth the visit when you are in Rovereto.

Housed in the Castle of Rovereto, it is one of the most important Italian museums dedicated to the First World War. It offers two possible itineraries: one is dedicated to the armies and wars of the Nineteenth century and the Great War, with objects, photographs and materials concerning trench warfare and the experience of civilians, the other leads to the discovery of the fortified towers and tunnels of the Castle, housing collections of weapons from prehistoric times to the modern-age.

The location, starting up the valley wall in Rovereto is stunning. AS other people here have said, there is a large collection of war history, perhaps primarily WW1, but some other collections pre-dating WW1.
I enjoyed wandering around the galleries and there are some fantastic photo opportunities from a Terrace off one of the galeries.
The only problem was, very little information in English, which i wasn't prepared for and which made it difficult to get the most out of the place.if you plan to visit and don't know much Italian, some homework beforehand may pay off

Futurism's reputation as an art movement has suffered from its association with fascism. This house, organized as an exhibition of his works (and those of like-minded artists of his time) by artist Depero himself, came as a very pleasant surprise. Sculpture, prints, drawings, furniture and paintings show his multifaceted, colorful and often whimsical talents which have magnificently survived the test of time. We took the combined ticket for the MART and Casa Depero, also known as “Casa d’Arte Futurista Depero”. Both places are well worth a visit

"Maria Dolens", Rovereto's monumental bell, tolls every evening at nightfall in the hope that man, in memory of the Fallen of every war and every nation in the world, may find the path that leads to Peace. The location is perfect, the peacefulness perfect, and the message powerful!

I enjoy learning about most all types of history, and I read a book of 454 pages called The White War about the terrible struggles between Italy and the German/Austrian armies during World War I. This monument, ironically built in 1938, just before the start of World War II, is a solemn reminder that more than 20,000 soldiers died to defend mountain ridges that really did not matter, when it was all done. Situated above a narrow valley that has controlled passage of travelers for thousands of years, it was deemed to be a strategic point, by those in charge of the armies, and was defended by both sides as a badge of honor, at a terrible cost. Inside the monument are marble slabs with the names of the known casualties, but no history lessons. Even in the slow November season, the tour guide staff person greeted us warmly and was eager to share his knowledge. Bring your children here so that they may better understand the horrors of war. I saw the interesting building on the hill, and just keep driving up the narrow little streets until I found this place. When my Italian friend complained to the tour guide about the lack of signs, he told us that they have been asking for road signs since 1938, but these things take time.

With stunning views over the valley, the paths form a circle and took us just over two hours to walk. Paths are wide and properly maintained so can easily be done even with younger children. Informational boards are placed near the dino prints and writing is in English, as well as in Italian. Climbs are stip at times and about 2 km in total, so do take lots of water with you. Best to be visited on a sunny but not too hot day (no shade anywhere).
Parking is possible right at the entry, along the road.
