Casa museo Ignazio Silone, Literary museum and former residence in Pescina, Italy.

The museum displays personal belongings, manuscripts, photographs, and documents that belonged to the Italian writer and politician Ignazio Silone.

After serving as a prison during the fascist period and a municipal theater after World War II, the building opened as a museum in 2006.

The museum houses a collection featuring honorary degrees from Warwick, Yale, and Toulouse universities, along with the French Legion of Honor medal.

The museum contains a research center with an extensive archive and library dedicated to the study of Silone's literary works and political activities.

The courtyard features a sculpture called Monument to All Days, created by Pietro Cascella in 1980, referencing Silone's novel Bread and Wine.
