Casa Carducci, History museum and national heritage site in Bologna, Italy
Casa Carducci is a house museum in central Bologna, set in the former home of the poet Giosuè Carducci. The rooms are arranged with his furniture, personal objects, and a large collection of books and manuscripts.
Giosuè Carducci moved into this house in the 19th century and lived there until his death in 1907. Shortly after, the property was turned into a museum in memory of the first Italian winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature.
The house carries the name of the poet Giosuè Carducci and opens a window into his personal world. His writing room still holds the desk and books as he left them, giving a sense of his daily habits.
The museum sits in the historic center of Bologna, close to the university area, and is easy to reach on foot. It is worth checking opening times before your visit, as they can vary depending on the day of the week.
The monument to Carducci in the garden is by sculptor Leonardo Bistolfi and was placed there in 1928. The building itself began as the church and oratory of the Confraternity of Santa Maria della Pietà in the first decade of the 16th century, and was later enlarged by the Rubini brothers after 1801.
