Casa natale di Amedeo Modigliani is a 19th-century apartment block at Via Roma 38 in Livorno, near Piazza Attias. On the first floor, one flat holds a display space with photographs, autograph documents and material on the painter, who was born here on 12 July 1884. The building is a private condominium and the space opens only occasionally by appointment.

His mother ran a private cultural and language school in the house that gained a reputation as the best in the city. The house-museum opened in 2004, fulfilling a wish expressed by his daughter Jeanne shortly before her death in 1984.
