Casa di Pirandello

Pirandello's House dates back to the end of the nineteenth century and has a rich garden, surrounded by olive trees and oaks. In the building, the Pirandello family took refuge to defend themselves from the cholera epidemic that attacked the city in 1867. Since 1949, the house has been declared a national monument. In 1952 this was purchased by the Region, which took care of the restoration and arrangement of the same. Today the house is a museum that presents to the public paintings by Pirandello, his most famous works. Since 1987 the house has been a single institute with the Luigi Pirandello Library.
