Pascoli House-Museum

The Pascoli House-Museum is a three-story residence in Castelvecchio that preserves the living spaces of an Italian poet. The rooms contain original furnishings, a personal library holding thousands of books, and several writing areas arranged for different types of literary work.

The poet moved into the house in the early 1890s and made it his permanent home for several decades. After his death, his sister cared for the rooms and kept them unchanged until the 1950s.

The study room displays the poet's handwritten manuscripts and letters that document his creative work. Personal objects in the rooms give visitors a direct sense of how he lived and wrote.

The museum is open several days each week and can be explored on foot, with rooms sized for comfortable viewing. It helps to spend time in the library and at the various writing areas to understand how the poet worked.

Next to the house stands a small chapel that serves as the burial place for the poet and his sister. The tomb was designed by a notable sculptor and creates a quiet space that adds a spiritual dimension to the site.
