Holiday apartment in Rovetta: Art, Churches and Cima Blum

Rovetta between art and mountain landscapes

When choosing a holiday apartment in Rovetta, you can choose between several holiday themes: art and churches, mountain landscapes, tours on foot or by bicycle, and regional specialities centred around red maize. The Casa Museo Fantoni in the historic centre, the Chiesa dei Disciplini and the trails to Cima Blum offer different ways to discover the area. This makes it possible to experience Rovetta through its culture, outdoor activities or cuisine.

Historical heritage and Fantoni art

The Casa Museo Fantoni is located in Rovetta’s historic centre. It preserves works as well as artistic and documentary evidence from several generations of the Fantoni family. The collection includes drawings, models, works and documents dating from the 16th to the 19th century. The Fantoni tradition in Rovetta can be traced from 1460 to the early 19th century. This provides a clear focus for a day devoted to culture.

The churches also tell the story of different eras. The Chiesa di Tutti i Santi in Rovetta is a Baroque parish church built between 1659 and 1672. The Chiesa Parrocchiale di Tutti i Santi houses the Pala di Rovetta in an elaborate marble altarpiece specially created by Giovan Bottino Fantoni and his workshop; Gian Battista Tiepolo painted the Pala di Rovetta in 1734. The Chiesa dei Disciplini is considered Rovetta’s oldest church and dates from the 12th to the 13th century. A side room contains the tomb of an old and respected figure. The Santuario Madonna di Sommaprada was built in the 16th century following a miraculous event and rebuilt in the 17th century.

Tours for active days out

For families with different interests, culture and physical activity can be combined. The Fondazione Fantoni organises educational programmes and workshops for children and pupils from primary, middle and secondary schools. The regional tour “Un giro tra campi e sapori” can be completed on foot or by bicycle and passes the Chiesa dei Disciplini di Rovetta. The various ways of getting around help you adapt your daily itinerary to your own pace.

Municipal Route A from Rovetta via Gratarolo and the Colle di Blum to Cima Blum and back is considered a classic half-day tour. Cima Blum is a broad viewpoint overlooking the Altipiano and Val Borlezza. The Rifugio Albani can be reached from the pass in around 20 minutes; overnight accommodation is available there. Those choosing a holiday apartment or holiday house in Rovetta can use these different tour ideas as inspiration when planning their personal holiday itinerary.

Red maize and regional specialities

Rovetta is associated with bread and sweet pastries made from red maize. Azienda Agricola Beccarelli Luca produces, among other things, flour made from Rostrato red maize, maize wafers and other specialities. When choosing between a holiday apartment and a holiday house in Rovetta, the desired combination of historical sightseeing, physical activity and culinary discoveries can therefore also play a role. Depending on which of these aspects interests you most, your stay will take on a different daily rhythm.
