Full description
Museo del Risorgimento is housed in a palace and tells the story of Italian unification through uniforms, paintings and documents from the 19th century. Entry is free every day, not only on special Sundays, and reviewers praise the large collection and the short explanatory texts in both Italian and English.
It is well suited to anyone wanting a clear introduction to a formative period of Italian history, and the focused size means about 45 minutes is enough. The museum is closed on Mondays and needs no booking.
