Birthplace of Benito Mussolini

The house where Benito Mussolini was born in 1883. It is a stone farmhouse typical of the surrounding area. On the first floor there are living quarters, and on the ground floor, under the stairs, a place where the dictator’s father had his blacksmith’s workshop. After Mussolini’s fall and his death, from 1944 the house was closed to outsiders. In 1999, it reopened as a museum. It presents temporary exhibitions on the history of the town and region, as well as architecture and art from the time of the Mussolini government.
