Rovereto, by number of inhabitants, is the second largest municipality in the province of Trento. Besides the historic significance that derive from the various vicissitudes in the Austro Hungarian Empire, now is known internationally thanks to the presence of one of the largest museums of contemporary art in Europe: the MART, acronym of Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art of Rovereto and Trento. Rovereto is a city culturally very active, in fact, here was born part of the Italian Futurism and the Rationalism architecture.

The palace, in late Renaissance and Baroque style, a magnificent seventeenth-century circular courtyard. The Fedrigotti Palace was designed by the architect Ambrogio Rosmini in 1790 and six years later hosted Napoleon Bonaparte.
The square is dedicated to the philosopher Antonio Rosmini. In the middle of the square we have a circular fountain located in the square in 1895. The central jet is about 20 meters high.
Piazza delle Oche is one of the oldest square in Rovereto. It was, initially, called Piazza del Borgo and assumed its present name in 1736 when it was placed the Fountain of Neptune. The name comes from three swans of marble that originally occupied the basement of the fountain that people called geese because they were pretty bad. For some historians, instead, the name derives from the market of geese that occasionally took place there.
