Casa d'arte futurista Depero, Futurist art museum in Rovereto, Italy
Casa d'arte futurista Depero is a museum housed in a historic building displaying a large collection of paintings, furniture, tapestries, and graphic works from the Futurist movement. The works are organized across multiple exhibition rooms, covering different aspects of this artistic direction.
Fortunato Depero founded this collection in 1957 through an agreement with the city of Rovereto to preserve Futurist works. It was Italy's first museum dedicated entirely to this avant-garde artistic movement.
Depero shaped the museum's identity as a statement of his own artistic vision and values. The rooms show how Futurism went beyond painting to influence furniture, textiles, and everyday objects people lived with.
The museum is located in central Rovereto and is easily accessible on foot; the address at Via Portici 38 serves as an orientation point. A visit can fit various schedules, though a thorough tour may take several hours.
The artist himself shaped every detail of the museum, from mosaics to furniture, according to his Futurist vision. This direct artistic hand makes it a rare example of a museum entirely conceived and designed by the artist whose work it displays.
