Dragoș Manea
★★★★★10 months agoAn interesting and well-curated museum that offers a glimpse into Italy’s unification period. The exhibits are rich in history, with uniforms, paintings, and documents that help you understand that important era. The atmosphere is calm and reflective, making it easy to take your time and explore. Not too crowded, which makes the visit even more enjoyable. Definitely worth a stop if you’re into history or simply curious about Italy’s past.

★★★★★9 months agoSuch an amazing museum!! Firstly, it is free everyday, not just for the first Sundays. The museum has an immense collection with little explanations both in Italian and English. I found it very helpful. There was also a guided that started just before us. It also seemed very informative and professional, if you are interested in.
