All his life long Verdi had succeeded, doing a little more and a little better each year, so that, at the end of his life, he was able to do a truly wonderful thing: namely, to build a home where musicians--who had not succeeded in life--could find a comfortable abiding place in their old age.
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.
