Pascoli House-Museum

The residence displays three floors containing preserved furniture, a personal library with thousands of books, and three specialized writing desks for different poetry styles.

Giovanni Pascoli acquired this Cardosi-Carrara house in 1902, living there from 1895 until 1912, while his sister Maria maintained it unchanged until 1953.

Inside the study room, visitors can examine the poet's original manuscripts, letters, and the single-key typewriter he used to create his literary works.

The museum opens Tuesday through Sunday with full admission at 7 euros, reduced tickets at 5 euros, and school groups at 3 euros per person.

A memorial chapel adjacent to the house contains both Giovanni and Maria Pascoli's remains in a marble ark designed by Leonardo Bistolfi.
