Location

Museo della Radio “Guglielmo Marconi” is housed in the basement of the Istituto Tecnico Industriale “Galileo Ferraris” on Via del Pontiere, close to Via degli Alpini, just south of Verona’s historic centre and a short walk from the Adige riverfront and Ponte Aleardi. It stands very near Juliet’s Tomb and the Museo degli Affreschi complex, in a quiet area still within easy walking distance of Piazza Bra and the Verona Arena, with cafés, restaurants and shops scattered along the surrounding streets leading back towards the old town.
