The History of Bacca Cappelleria
Cappelleria Bacca is an ancient and evocative shop of elegant hats and accessories for men and women which dates back to 1823, the year in which the municipality of Rovereto granted the sales license to Giovanni Bacca .
More than 200 years have passed since then, for one of the oldest hat shops in Italy.
Originally the shop consisted of two rooms; now the only one still in operation retains the floor and much of the original wooden furniture.
The atmosphere inside has remained the same as it once was, thanks to the presence of numerous antique pieces of furniture that still serve as a backdrop to the refined selection of men's and women's hats and accessories, personally curated by Sonia.
In fact, Sonia Monti is the representative of the 5th generation that has successfully managed the hat shop over the years.
Offering high quality hats has always been the family mission, in fact Sonia personally selects all the items present, turning her attention to the latest fashion trends but also to the great classics of both Italian and foreign production, offering customers top quality items.
We believe that more than ever the purchase of a hat needs a personalized consultation that can adapt from time to time to the shape of the face, the age and the personal tastes of the person buying it. All this obviously without the inevitable courtesy and kindness that completes the offer of our refined shop.
The same shopping experience that we want to transfer to our online store of hats and accessories for the outfit, offering the best products on sale and advising those who request it on the most suitable hat for their person.

A unique historic shop full of art
The exterior of the Cappelleria Bacca shop is embellished with a sculptural work of art created by the famous futurist artist Fortunato Depero (1892-1960), a long-time family friend.
The two Caryatids on the sides of the shop entrance were created in the early 1900s to decorate the important Trentino business.
Their presence embodies a strong attraction for the numerous tourists who come to Rovereto and pass through the historic centre, walking from the Mart (the famous Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art) along the road that also leads to the recently restored Depero House Museum.
Fortunato Depero was a great friend of the descendant of the Antonio Bacca family who entrusted the futurist artist with the creation of one of his first sculptural works (1911).
However, these are not the only works that the family received from the artist, in fact he also gave them one of the few copies of the famous “imbullonato” with dedication and signature.
