Museo Gaspare Spontini, House museum in Maiolati Spontini, Italy.
The Museo Gaspare Spontini is a house museum in the former home of Italian composer Gaspare Spontini. The building spans three floors and contains manuscripts, letters, personal objects, and two historic keyboard instruments.
Composer Gaspare Spontini spent his final years in this house before it became a museum in 1951. This transformation marked the centenary of his death and preserved his living space for future generations.
The collection displays original musical scores and family portraits reflecting early 19th-century Italian musical life. These items show how opera and composition were central to the cultural world of the time.
The museum is open on Sunday afternoons and offers guided tours for visitors. Plan your visit ahead since opening times are limited and the rooms spread across multiple floors.
The second floor preserves the composer's original bedroom and living room with period furnishings and personal belongings. These spaces reveal how Spontini arranged his daily surroundings in his final years.
