Traveler reviews
Sophia
★★★★★2 years agoPhenomenal gem of a museum. Put together by private donations and volunteers. This place really needs more attention and visitors. Beautiful display of important history. Note All info is in Italian only with a few QR codes in English. Highly recommend.
Simon Hanley
★★★★★Edited a year agoFor those with an interest in medical history,, the items are very interesting. Currently being renovated, thus a little difficult to access. I was the sole person there. The staff were very helpful. A knowledge of Italian required.
