Emilia Romagna Castles

On Saturday 5 and Sunday 6 April, from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m., there will be a weekend of free extraordinary openings of Alfredo Panzini's Casa Rossa (Red House), with which the municipal administration joins the International House Museum Days - International House Museum Days.

Panzini's historic summer residence is therefore one of the 142 structures, distributed in 19 Italian regions, that have adhered to the invitation of the National Association of Houses of Memory: after three editions dedicated to house museums on Italian soil, for this 2025 the Association has extended its range of action to foreign cultural centres, thanks to the collaboration with organisations such as Icom International, Icom Demhist - International Committee for Historic House Museums, Iclcm - International Committee for Literary and Composers' Museums, Icom Italia and the European Network of House Museums of Famous People.

In the context of the initiative, at 4.00 p.m. on both days, there will also be a thematic guided tour at the Casa Rossa entitled 'Alfredo and the Red House', to discover a residence that was the true summer epicentre of the area's cultural life, thanks to the passage of important men of letters and artists such as Moretti, Serra and De Pisis. The guided tour is free and reservations are required by calling 0541.343889 or writing to didatticabellaria@atlantide.net.
