A guide to the nineteenth century masterpieces in the Palazzo delle Albere collection (the Trent premises of the Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art of Trent and Rovereto) in the new installation of the permanent collection: from Venus playing with two doves by Francesco Hayez, a masterpiece of nineteenth century painting and exemplary illustration of the passage from neoclassicism to romanticism, to the works of Bartolomeo Bezzi, Eugenio Prati and Giovanni Segantini, unquestionable protagonists of the change from verismo to the language of symbolism; from the plaster cast collection of the sculptor Andrea Malfatti to the "openings towards futurism" with works by Medardo Rosso, Ugo Valeri, Umberto Boccioni and Gino Severini.
