House of Ludovico Ariosto

The building contains an innovative architectural design with fireplaces positioned on the upper floor opposite to the street front, connected by a central staircase.

Poet Ludovico Ariosto lived in this residence during his final years while completing the third edition of Orlando Enraged, published in 1532.

The museum exhibits Ariosto's personal items, including his bronze inkstand, chair, and several editions of his literary works spanning different periods.

Visitors can access the house museum at Via Ludovico Ariosto 67 from Tuesday to Sunday, with opening hours from 10:00 to 12:30 and 16:00 to 18:00.

A terracotta inscription on the facade states that the house, though small, suited the poet perfectly and was purchased entirely with his own money.
