Civico museo biblioteca dell'attore, Theater museum and library in Genoa, Italy
The Civico Museo Biblioteca dell'Attore is a repository in Genoa dedicated to theater and its performers, displaying thousands of documents, costumes, and handwritten texts. The building holds an extensive collection ranging from historical stage designs to contemporary theatrical materials.
The institution was established in 1966 as part of Teatro Stabile di Genova, beginning with a valuable collection of theatrical memories from the Salvini family. Over decades, it grew through donations and acquisitions into a significant archive of Italian theater culture.
The museum preserves personal memorabilia from actors, showing how Italian theater evolved over centuries. These collections let visitors discover the stories behind famous stages and legendary performers.
The site is located in central Genoa and is easily accessible by public transportation, with wheelchair access for all visitors. It helps to check in advance whether guided tours or special exhibitions are scheduled to make the most of your visit.
The museum houses a small puppet theater from the 18th century called Teatrino Rissone, currently displayed at the Edmondo De Amicis Library. This rare piece showcases a forgotten tradition of Italian theater that is preserved only here.
