Museo Rodari - una fantastica storia.
About This Museum
People don't just come here to see a museum; they come to find the place where Gianni Rodari's imagination first took flight, right here in his hometown on the shores of Lake Orta. You can almost feel the whispers of his childhood in these rooms, which are filled not with dusty artifacts but with playful, interactive worlds built from his most beloved stories. It’s a place that crackles with the same creative energy that brought 'The Grammar of Fantasy' and 'Telephone Tales' to life. Stepping back outside, you carry with you the delightful sense that magic isn't just in books—it's all around us, waiting to be noticed.
Collection Highlights
Look for the original manuscript pages where you can see Rodari's own handwriting and sketches, and don't miss the whimsical installation dedicated to the foolish little 'Torta in Cielo' (Cake in the Sky) that children love.
Visitor Information
It's tucked away on Via Carrobbio, easy to miss if you're not looking for it, so keep an eye out for the cheerful signage. A visit doesn't take all day, making it a perfect stop before a stroll along the lake.
Architecture & Building
Housed in a charming, unassuming building that feels more like a traditional Omegna home than an institution, with warm-toned local stone and simple, welcoming proportions.
