House of Pirandello, Literary museum in Rome, Italy
The House of Pirandello is a small museum in Rome displaying personal items, manuscripts, and theatrical artifacts belonging to Italian playwright Luigi Pirandello. The collection includes his Nobel Prize plaque, personal library, and private papers that document his work and life.
The building was constructed as a villa in the 1910s and became the writer's final home starting in 1933. He received news of his Literature Nobel Prize here in 1934, three years before his death.
The residence reflects how a major 20th-century dramatist lived and worked in his everyday surroundings. Walking through the rooms gives a sense of the creative world of Italian theater during that era.
The museum is located in a quiet villa and is accessible by public transportation. Plan enough time to explore the rooms at your own pace, as the small scale makes it easy to spend time examining displays in detail.
The original study desk and furnishings remain in place as they were during his time here. This allows visitors to see exactly where and how the writer worked during his most productive years.
