Catalog of the whole Collection edited for the exhibition, from July to November 2005, in homage to Augusto Giovanardi at the MART in Rovereto, recently opened. After the great inaugural exhibition of the new Rovereto site of the Museum by Mario Botta, Le stanze dell'Arte (from December 2002 to April 2003), MART’s Director, Gabriella Belli, decided to enhance the figure of the Collector, as the builder of the art deposit of the Trentino Museum, born almost devoid of twentieth-century and contemporary artworks and, within a few years, full of many loans and bequests of Italian and international collectors. Hence the tribute of the main collectors who "made" the Museum from the beginning, namely Augusto and Francesca Giovanardi, Giuseppe Panza di Biumo, Volker Feierabend, Alessandro Grassi.
