This exhibition follows the creative journey of Futurist artist Fortunato Depero, from his native Rovereto to the vibrant modernity of New York. Advertising works—often bold collages—are presented alongside sketches, preparatory drawings, and paintings. Seen together, they reveal how Depero developed ideas across different media. Rather than abandoning concepts, he returned to them, transforming and adapting them over time.
In 1919 Depero founded the Casa d’Arte Futurista in Rovereto. The workshop produced tapestries, furniture, decorative objects, and advertising graphics. More than a studio, it was conceived as a laboratory for a new modern environment—one in which art could move beyond the canvas and enter everyday life.
