Museo storico in Trento

The Museo storico is a military history museum in Voghera with thirteen exhibition halls displaying over five thousand artifacts from Italian and international military conflicts. The collections focus on weapons, equipment, and documents spanning different wars and time periods.

The museum was founded in 1971 to preserve items from the Battle of Montebello and through both World Wars until the 1980s. It documents how conflicts and military technology evolved across three centuries.

The place reflects how military history connects to local identity, with displays showing ordinary soldiers' experiences through uniforms, letters, and personal objects across different eras.

The museum is open Tuesday through Sunday and visitors should plan about two hours for a complete visit. The exhibits are clearly labeled and easy to navigate, even if you arrive without prior planning.

The collection includes Radio Caterina, a device used during World War II from London for underground communication. This rare piece shows how technology was used in secret networks to transmit information safely.
