The picture gallery of the Accademia Carrara, founded in 1796 by Giacomo Carrara, is considered to be the fruit of Italian collecting and one of the finest European art museum. Over six hundred artworks are on display in the museum, arranged in 28 rooms over two floors. They include masterpieces by Pisanello, Mantegna, Bellini, Botticelli, Raphael, Titian, Lotto, Moroni and other leading Italian painters, offering a journey through five centuries of Italian art history, from the beginning of the fifteenth to the end of the nineteenth century.

The Pinacoteca Accademia Carrara contains an astonishing collection of paintings from the 14th to the 18th centuries, among the important in Italy, and includes masterpieces from Mantegna, Bellini, Raffaello, and Canaletto. Some of the more modern works reflect the macchiaioli, such as those of Giuseppe Pillizza da Volpeda. The Accademia has almost 1,800 paintings in all, plus 134 sculptures, almost 3,000 drawings, 7,500 prints, and about 1,200 coins and medals from ancient Greece to the 18th century. They are housed in a handsome 18th century edifice built as an art school with a pinacoteca (museum) on the upper floor. When the latter grew too big, the school moved out and the whole building became a museum. It was thoughtfully renovated some years ago and re-opened in 2015 as a well-organized, well-lit, well-maintained museum, with collections arranged chronologically and divided by schools of art. Too bad for the museum that almost nobody comes, but that works to the great advantage of art lovers who do.

Beautifully maintained gardens. Plenty of plant details. Slightly hilly paths, but easily accessible. Signage good, different routes depending on how much time visitors have, which gives times to completion of visit. Toilets round site and good cafe. House visit also included in the entrance fee. Villa entrance opposite the ferry service.

The Buonconsiglio Castle is the largest and most important monumental complex of the Trentino Alto Adige region. It was the residence of the prince-bishops of Trento from the 13th century to the end of the 18th century, and is composed of a series of buildings of different eras, enclosed by walls and positioned slightly higher than the city. Castelvecchio is the oldest nucleus, dominated by an imposing cylindrical tower; the Magno Palazzo is the 16th century expansion in the Italian Renaissance-style as commissioned by the Prince-Bishop and Cardinal Bernardo Cles (1485-1539); the Baroque-style Giunta Albertiana dates from the end of the 17th century. At the extreme south of the complex is the Torre Aquila, within which is conserved the famous Cycle of the Months, one of the most fascinating secular pictorial cycles of the late Middle Ages.

My son & I really enjoyed visiting this castle as there are lots of neat sections to visit in the old part. The "newer" parts are interesting as well, & their collection of artifacts & exhibits is impressive. Well worth the reasonable entrance fee. The cafe was also pretty good! Grounds were decorated for the holidays which was also nice. Highly recommended!

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.

On arrival we parked in first car park and walked the 3 kilometres to the entrance of the park as it was a beautiful day. We passed Malga Costa and Villa Strobele, which we visited on the way back. There were many works of art scattered around the park and a few were still being repaired after the Vaia Storm two years ago. We had a lovely walk in the open air viewing the many pieces including the unusual knotted tree, the tree cathedral and the bridge made from old newspapers! It was enjoyed by all the group, young and old! There are a couple of restaurants but you need to pre book on a busy day.

Italy is filled with wonders the rest of the world knows nothing about. The baptistery dates from the 5th century and includes a mosaic of the same date. The ticket, which includes the museum (which we didn’t have time for) is only €4 and well worth it.

Il Museo dell'Arte Fabbrile e delle Coltellerie ha sede in un luogo simbolo della storia fabbrile di Maniago, nel grande stabilimento industriale che iniziò la propria attività come Co.Ri.Ca.Ma. (Coltellerie Riunite di Caslino e Maniago) nel 1907. In un paese che ospitava in ogni casa e cortile piccole officine artigianali a conduzione familiare, questa fabbrica diede lavoro a centinaia di operaie e operai fino alla chiusura nel 1972. Acquistato dal Comune e recuperato dallo stato di abbandono, diventa la sede naturale del Museo e ospita dal 2009 un percorso espositivo affascinante e efficace, che recupera le radici e gli sviluppi della produzione locale e industriale di oggetti da taglio.
