VERDI HOME FOR AGED MUSICIANS
VERDI'S TOMB
In this House are many souvenirs of the great Italian. Here, too, is the tomb of Giuseppe Verdi.
Verdi was loved by his fellow-countrymen. His music is their joy—and ours—and will so remain for years to come; perhaps forever.
The great sculptor, Vincenzo Gemito, has molded wonderful bronze busts of Verdi, which shows us how the little boy of Roncole grew to be a man of world renown.
