Museo del Risorgimento

The Museo del Risorgimento occupies Giuseppe Mazzini's birthplace and displays collections focused on Italy's independence movement in the 1800s. The exhibitions feature documents, paintings, weapons, uniforms, and photographs from this period.

The institution was established in 1915 and later moved to its current location in 1934 to better serve as a center for preserving the story of Italian independence. This relocation reflected a growing commitment to protecting this historical record.

The museum is housed in Giuseppe Mazzini's former residence, a setting that ties visitors directly to the person who shaped Italian independence. Walking through these rooms gives a human dimension to the historical period being explored.

The museum is easily reached on foot and located in a historic neighborhood with other attractions nearby. Plan to spend several hours exploring the collections at a comfortable pace.

A notable item is the original manuscript of the Italian National Anthem written by Goffredo Mameli in 1847, housed here. This significant document is rarely seen in its original form at its source.
