Saturday 4th of May 2025 | Itinerari Deperiani
An easy walk to discover Vallagarina’s fascination, and the influence it has had on Fortunato Depero’s art. The itinerary starts among the cobbled alleys of the city centre, and continues on a charming scenic route where the artist loved to walk, with magnificient views over the Castle of Rovereto, the Leno river, and the “Eremo di San Colombano“. Finally, once the church of Noriglio -widely represented in Depero’s art works- has been reached, the itinerary leads back to the city centre, along the outward route. Two exceptional guides will accompany the route: Federico Zanoner, who will intersperse the walk with documents, sketches and readings taken from the Mart archives, and Anna Forti, who will offer some insights into the history and geology of the area.
