Museo Romagnolo del Teatro
The Museo Romagnolo del Teatro occupies the ground floor of Palazzo Gaddi, an imposing historic building in the centre of Forlì. The collection brings together musical and theatrical memorabilia from the town's artistic life between the 19th and 20th centuries. The first donations came from the Forlì-born tenor Angelo Masini and the soprano Maria Farneti, and the collection later grew with further gifts. On display are also items from the Teatro Comunale di Forlì (which no longer exists), along with numerous musical instruments and documentary material on local artists.
Good to know
- Palazzo Gaddi also houses the Museo del Risorgimento “A. Saffi” and part of the Museo Etnografico Romagnolo “B. Pergoli”.
