Conservatorio Statale di Musica "Gioachino Rossini"

The Conservatorio Rossini is a music conservatory in Pesaro housed within a neoclassical palace that contains teaching rooms, concert halls, and academic facilities. The building primarily functions as an educational institution preparing music students at various levels for professional careers.

The conservatory was founded in 1882 following the testament of composer Gioachino Rossini and began with a small group of students. Over the following century, it grew into an established institution that trained many significant musicians.

The library here preserves a significant collection of opera scores and musical documents spanning both Italian and international works. Visitors can observe how these holdings reflect the institution's role as a center for preserving and studying Italian musical tradition.

The building comes alive with various activities, as regular concerts and performances take place inside, and visitors can explore the academic atmosphere within. The best time to visit is during morning or early afternoon hours when classes are underway and rooms are actively used by music students.

The conservatory's archives hold original manuscripts by Pergolesi, Rossini, Verdi, and Puccini that offer insights into how these masters composed their works. These rare documents display handwritten alterations and revisions made during their creative process.
