Went there with 3 kids (5 and 3 year old twins). We all enjoyed a lot of the tour packed with history and details of how to make liquorice products. We bought a few souvenirs after the tour. Worth a visit!

Rossano (historic center) is a charming town, offering a glimpse of "real Italian Life". A town devoid of tourists, we made our way through the empty streets and arrived at the Museum which is located through a discreet doorway and across a beautiful courtyard. The Museum itself is modern, air conditioned and very well laid out, the staff are polite and helpful. The Codex is a fascinating manuscript which is certainly as significant as the "Book of Kells" which is thronged with visitors. On the day we visited we were the only people there, we were given a detailed history of the codex by our fluent English speaking guide, which was truly fascinating This is a Museum well worth taking the time to visit, regardless of religious leaning.
