Rovereto / 羅斐列多

和凱特在一起的最後一天，我們從波隆納搭兩個半小時火車出城去。

On my last day with Caterina, we left Bologna and took a two-and-a-half-hour ride out of town. 

越往北走風景就不同，開始有山脈環繞。

As we traveled north, the scenery started to look different with mountains surrounding us.

我們的目的地是位於北方的小城羅斐列多，這裡有點接近義大利和德國邊境，德文出現在火車站的告示牌上，天氣和波隆納比起來稍微涼些。

Our destination was Rovereto, located in the north of Italy. The town is quite close to Germany, so on the signs in the train station, German can be seen. Compared with Bologna, the weather is a little bit cooler. 

羅斐列多之前是個古老的堡壘城，現在則是度假之地，這裡路上行人不多，感覺很悠閒。

Rovereto used to be an ancient fortress town. Now it is a good place for vacationing. There aren't many people on the streets. It feels very relaxing.

羅斐列多是博物館城，我們就是要來拜訪兩間博物館。

Rovereto is a museum city. We were here to visit two museums. 

這是建館只有十年歷史的羅斐列多現代美術館。

This is the MART (the Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art of Trento and Rovereto), which was founded only ten years ago. 

凱特非常想看「愛麗絲夢遊仙境」展。

Caterina wanted to see the exhibition of Alice in Wonderland very much. 

這是達利版的「愛麗絲夢遊仙境」插畫，整個就令人無限景仰。

This is Dali's illustration for Alice in Wonderland. I looked at his works with so much admiration and love. 

很難想像一個小鎮的美術館素質之高，難怪之前大家都問我為何不去義大利念書。

It'd be hard to imagine that a museum in a small town can be of such excellent quality. No wonder a lot of people suggested that I go to Italy for studies rather than the UK. 

連美術館餐廳的食物都好吃，這裡的消費也便宜許多。

Even food in the museum restaurant was delicious, and the cost was much lower. 

這裡也有海神噴泉。

There is a fountain of Neptune here too. 

三月底的義大利午後，真是人間天堂。

Italia in the afternoon at the end of March is so heavenly... 

這是莫札特在義大利第一次演奏之處。

This is where Mozart performed for the first time in Italy. 

接著我們去到羅佩羅之屋，他是義大利未來主義的畫家之一。

Next we went to Ropero's House. Ropero was one of the futurist artists. 

和其他未來主義畫家不太一樣的是，羅佩羅的作品很有童趣，又充滿著亮麗的色彩。

Different from other futurist painters, Ropero's works have a childlike optimism, and they are brightly colorful. 

我的義大利之旅就這麼接近尾聲了‧‧‧

My trip to Italy was about to end...
