National Rossini Museum - Pesaro - Italy
About This Museum
Tucked away in Pesaro, the city of his birth, this museum is a vibrant love letter to Gioachino Rossini. You don't just learn about the composer of 'The Barber of Seville'; you feel his presence, from the very rooms he lived in as a young man to the thunderous energy of his operas. It’s a wonderfully modern and interactive space that feels more like a celebration than a static exhibit. The experience culminates with a chance to sit back in a dedicated listening room and simply get swept away by his brilliant overtures.
Collection Highlights
One of the most moving exhibits is Rossini's original square piano, a beautiful instrument that brings his creative process to life. You can also see personal items like his eye glasses and coffee cup, offering an intimate glimpse into the man behind the music. Don't miss the 'La Cambiale di Matrimonio' room, which uses playful stage designs and costumes to immerse you in the world of his first professional opera.
