Overview
It is not the house where Dante lived when he was in exile in Ravenna, but an addition to the Dante Museum that had already been inaugurated a short distance from the Tomb in 1921.
In the first room of the new space, which also has a bookshop and workshop, nineteenth- and twentieth-century art works on long-term deposit from the Galleria d'Arte Moderna of Palazzo Pitti in Florence are exhibited. In another room are the Dante collections of the Classense Library, the institution that has been responsible for the preservation, exhibition and scientific management of Dante's legacy in the city since its origins. It was also announced that a further section dedicated to the world of design, naturally declined in Dante's version, will be added in collaboration with the ADI Design Museum in Milan.
