Italian War History Museum
Italian War History Museum, History museum in Rovereto, Italy
Description
The Italian War History Museum sits inside the medieval castle of Rovereto and displays military objects, documents, and photographs spanning different conflicts in Italian history. The collection fills multiple levels of the fortress with weapons, personal items, and records that show how wars shaped the region over time.
History
The museum opened in 1921 to preserve memories and artifacts from World War I in the Trentino region. Since then, it has grown its collection to document other conflicts that shaped Italy through the decades.
