MART - Museo di arte moderna e contemporanea di Trento e Rovereto is one of the most interesting museums in Italy. The main building is located on Corso Bettini in Rovereto, framed by two 18th century buildings, near the historical centre. The building housing the museum was designed by Swiss architect Mario Botta in partnership with engineer Giulio Andreolli of Rovereto.
The four-storey museum has a total of 12,000 sqm space of which half is exhibition area. It has a very large art collection that ranges from futurism to pop art, including arte povera and realism to contemporary works.
The 3,000+ works by Fortunato Depero, donated by the artist to the city of Rovereto and today in the museum, represent a part of the large prestigious heritage of MART, along with works by other futurists such as Giacomo Balla, Carlo Carrà, Luigi Russolo, Gino Severini, Enrico Prampolini, Thayaht and Tullio Crali. The museum’s key acquisitions include important 20th century Italian artists: Medardo Rosso, Mario Sironi, Giorgio de Chirico, Giorgio Morandi, Lucio Fontana, Emilio Vedova, Piero Manzoni, Alighiero Boetti, Mario Schifano.
