Casa Natale di Giuseppe Verdi

Emilia-Romagna


The humble, sparsely furnished cottage where Giuseppe Verdi was born in 1813 is now a small museum. Grab a tablet at the entrance to take advantage of multimedia exhibits highlighting the composer's life and music. It's in the hamlet of Roncole Verdi, 5km southeast of Busseto.
