Companionship Services Rovereto
Modernist architecture and wartime memory share a single hillside in this Trentino town of roughly 34,152 inhabitants on the upper Adige river, about 25 km south of Trento. The MART - Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art of Trento and Rovereto - opened in 2002 inside a building designed by Swiss architect Mario Botta, its circular glass-and-steel dome spanning the courtyard between two older palazzi on Corso Bettini. The permanent collection runs from futurism through arte povera to contemporary Italian and international works, and the Depero Futurist Art House on Via della Terra, a satellite of MART, is the only museum in Italy founded directly by a futurist artist.
On the Colle di Miravalle above the town, the Campana dei Caduti - Bell of the Fallen - rings one hundred slow tolls each evening at sunset. Cast in 1924 from bronze melted down from cannons donated by the nations that fought in the First World War, the bell weighing over 22 tonnes is one of the largest functioning bells in the world. The Ossario di Castel Dante, a short walk from the bell, holds the remains of more than 20,000 Italian and Austro-Hungarian soldiers. Rovereto's strategic position in the Vallagarina made it a frontline town during 1915-1918, and trenches and fortifications survive on the surrounding ridges.
Before the wars, Rovereto built its economy on silk. Between the seventeenth and nineteenth centuries, the town operated dozens of filande (silk-spinning mills) along the Leno stream, earning it the nickname "Athens of the Trentino" for the wealth and cultural institutions the trade supported. The Museo della Citta in Palazzo Sichardt documents this industrial period alongside archaeological finds from the Vallagarina. Trento is reachable in about 15 minutes by regional train, while Verona lies approximately 80 km to the south.
