The Italian War History Museum

In the castle of Rovereto, memories of the Venetian rule and of the Great War

  • Armies and wars between the 19th century and the Great War
  • The castle and weapons between the 16th and 18th century
  • It is an unmissable stop for all history lovers

This is one of the top war museums in Italy and it attracts numerous history enthusiasts, thanks especially to the section about the First World War. The collection features uniforms, weapons and armour, not to mention an authentic, recently restored Nieuport-Macchi Ni.10 biplane. Do not miss the Risorgimento section, which contains not only weapons and uniforms but also furniture and china from the era of Italian unification. In the towers, you can see a collection of weapons from the early modern period (from the 16th to the 18th century), including armour, cold weapons, firearms, duelling weapons and hunting weapons.

Interesting temporary exhibitions are held in the museum and tickets can also be used to gain entry to an artillery exhibition in a separate location.
