Casa Morandi was opened to the public in 2009 after the
completion of conservation restoration efforts carried out by the
Municipality of Bologna with the support of Unindustria Bologna,
which converted the home where Morandi lived and worked from
1910 to 1964 into museum dedicated to preserving and studying
his legacy. The museum-home complements the exhibits of the
Morandi Museum, and introduces the public to the atmosphere
that reigned in Morandi’s workshop, a replica of which is featured
here with original furniture and tools used by the artist, still in
their original positions. A careful selection of photographs, books,
and various documents traces the salient moments in Morandi’s
life, while audio and video installations, multi-media technologies,
a library, and a multi-purpose room for cultural activities help
contribute to keeping the figure and work of the great master alive
and current.
