Traveler reviews
Ryan James Speroni
★★★★★3 years agoAn absolutely brilliant exposition on the Italian resistance during World War 2. Highly recommend it, especially for these little known aspects of our Italian history.
Anke Lenssens
★★★★★a year agoVery interesting museum that, in my opnion, has been undervalued online and in tourist guides. If you are interested in the human experience of war and resistance, this museum is worth a visit. The way in which personal testimonies are presented is really exceptional. The staff is incredibly friendly as well. A must visit!
