Museo Della Radio
About This Museum
Tucked away in a corner of Verona's grand Piazza Bra, the Museo Della Radio feels like stepping into a living room where history still crackles through the air. I was immediately struck not by silent relics, but by the soft, warm hum and glow of dozens of perfectly restored radios from a bygone era. You can trace the entire story of wireless communication, from Marconi's first revolutionary spark gap transmitters to the sleek, art-deco tabletop models that would have broadcast news of war and peace into Italian homes. It’s an intimate and surprisingly personal collection that makes you feel connected to the voices and music that once filled these spaces.
Collection Highlights
Don't miss Marconi's early equipment, which feels like touching the origin of magic itself, and the stunning array of 1930s and 40s wooden console radios with their intricate cabinetry. One of the most charming exhibits lets you actually tune into different stations on a working vintage set.
Visitor Information
It's a small museum, so you can easily soak it all up in an hour—a perfect cultural pitstop while exploring Verona's Arena. Just look for the unassuming entrance on Piazza Bra; it’s a quiet escape from the bustling square.
Architecture & Building
Housed within a classic Veronese palazzo, its elegant stone exterior gives way to cozy, wood-paneled rooms that make the whole experience feel more like discovering a private collection than visiting a formal institution.
