Discover Rovetta

Get to know Rovetta through its art history, churches and the landscape around Cima Blum. These themes give your trip different points of focus: you can explore the Fantoni family and their works, visit historic religious buildings or plan a half-day trip with scenic views. Bread and sweet pastries made with red corn are also among the specialities associated with the town.

Art and History in Rovetta

The Casa Museo Fantoni is located in the historic centre of Rovetta. Its collection includes drawings, models, works and documents dating from the 16th to the 19th century. It also preserves artistic and documentary records of several generations of the Fantoni family. The museum thus offers a way to discover the family’s long artistic tradition in the town.

The Fondazione Fantoni also organises educational activities and workshops for children and primary, middle and high school students. This complements the collection with opportunities to introduce younger groups to art and history.

The Chiesa di Tutti i Santi is a Baroque parish church dating from 1659 to 1672. Inside the Chiesa Parrocchiale di Tutti i Santi, the Pala di Rovetta is housed in an ornate marble altarpiece made especially for it by Giovan Bottino Fantoni and his workshop. Gian Battista Tiepolo painted the Pala in 1734. The church, painting and altarpiece bring together different aspects of architecture and art.

The Fantoni tradition in Rovetta spans the period from 1460 to the early 19th century. Another historic church is the Chiesa dei Disciplini, considered Rovetta’s oldest church and dating from the 12th to 13th century. The Santuario Madonna di Sommaprada adds its own architectural history to these religious sites: it was built in the 16th century following a miraculous event and rebuilt in the 17th century.

Views and Tours Around Rovetta

Cima Blum is a panoramic viewpoint overlooking the Altipiano and Val Borlezza. Municipal Route A connects this landscape with a tour starting from Rovetta: it passes through Gratarolo and Colle di Blum to Cima Blum and back. The route is considered a classic half-day trip. If you plan to do it, check the current mountain conditions in advance.

The regional tour “Un giro tra campi e sapori” can also be done on foot or by bicycle; it passes the Chiesa dei Disciplini di Rovetta. This offers different ways to explore: a tour with the viewpoint as its destination, and a route that combines a visit to the church with a walk or bike ride.
