About us

The Museum of the Risorgimento is owned by the Province of Lucca Authority which in March 2013 handed over to the city this important, newly refurbished “house of remembrance” with the objective of taking the visitor on a voyage of discovery of the Italian nation’s origins and roots.

The project received funding from the Region of Tuscany (PAR FAS 2007 -2013) the Lucca Savings Bank Foundation, with project support from the Promo PA Foundation. It was made possible thanks to collaboration with the National Association of Combatants and Veterans and the AssoArma Association and scientific and technical support from Lucca’s Cultural Heritage Board, as well as funding from the Italian Ministry of Culture and the Monte Bank Foundation.
The Museum is currently run by a management board comprising, in addition to representatives from the Province of Lucca, the National Association of Combatants and Veterans and the AssoArma Association, Colonel Michele Topaios, Museum Director, and Professor Luciano Luciani, Scientific Curator.
