Domus Mazziniana

About

The Domus Mazziniana stands in Palazzo Nathan‑Rosselli, the house where Giuseppe Mazzini died in 1872. Declared a national monument in 1910, the building was destroyed during the 1943 bombings, but many Risorgimento relics were saved by the SoprintendenzaComune di Pisa - Turismo. Rebuilt after the war, it was inaugurated in 1952 by President Luigi Einaudi and became a cultural institute dedicated to preserving Mazzini’s legacy, his political thought and the documents linked to Italy’s unification. Today the museum offers an intimate journey through letters, photographs and artefacts that trace the final years of Mazzini’s life and the broader history of the Risorgimento. Its distinctive façade on Via d’Azeglio, marked by a steel inscription from Giovine Italia, signals its role as a place of memory and civic reflection. Quiet yet powerful, the Domus Mazziniana remains one of Pisa’s most meaningful historical sites.
