Il Museo Nazionale Rossini racconta la vita, l’uomo e la grandezza dell’artista ma anche l’attualità dell’opera di Gioachino Rossini, cittadino illustre di Pesaro che gli ha dato i natali il 29 febbraio 1792. I visitatori sono invitati nel mondo rossiniano, raccontato come un’opera lirica, metafora musicale della sua intensa vita. Un percorso affascinante, scandito in dieci sale, che segue le tappe biografiche del compositore e la sconfinata produzione operistica della sua carriera, ambientate di volta in volta nel contesto storico, tra luoghi e personaggi.

Loved it here on our trip to Pesaro! We spent a lovely hour and a half and I highly recommend it to everyone who is visiting if you are looking for some high quality time. The museum has beautiful colorful rooms with frescoed ceilings, a lot of original objects and screens too, altogether creating an engaging experience to learn better about life and oeuvre of the great G. Rossini! Really a must do in Pesaro! Also, in your ticket are included the birth house of Rossini and the Civic Museum of Pesaro.

For Rossini fans a must. You'll see where the maestro was born, what instruments he had at his disposal, where he ate, slept, etc. Enlightening.
