Pesaro like Salzburg, will open a museum dedicated to Gioacchino Rossini

Exactly 150 years have passed since the death of Gioacchino Rossini (Pesaro, 1792 - Passy, 1868). To mark the occasion, the city of Pesaro is preparing to celebrate the great composer with many initiatives. These include the opening of a museum dedicated to Rossini that will occupy the main floor of Palazzo Montani Antaldi, home of the Fondazione Cassa di Risparmio di Pesaro. The museum will cover an area of 1,000 square meters, will have a dozen rooms in the historic part of the building and other spaces in the modern wing.

The Rossini celebrations “will not be an event that concerns only Pesaro or the Marche region,” said Minister Dario Franceschini, “but a major international event. The figure of Rossini will be the image of Italy in the world, promoting a sector, such as opera, on which we bet a lot, both to make our beauty known abroad and to attract tourists from abroad. Pesaro is now like Salzburg.” Pesaro, like the Austrian city that was the birthplace of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, already has a house-museum dedicated to Rossini (in fact, Salzburg hosts a museum dedicated to the composer in Mozart’s birthplace, and yet another in the residence where he lived from 1773) and therefore plans to open another institute to preserve the memory of its most famous artist.
