Regardless of whether you are an opera fan or not, there's no denying the cultural impact and influence Luciano Pavarotti had on the arts. For this reason alone, it's worth visiting the home of this cultural icon who's career spanned decades, languages, and oceans.
Don't let the modest exterior appearance of the home fool you-it's larger than it looks and sits on a fairly sized piece of property in the Modena countryside. It costs 10 euro to enter and you'll receive an audio tour that guides you from room to room.
The tour provides an inside look at the man who is credited with making opera popular and accessible to the masses. As you travel from room to room in the three story home you'll be treated to an up close look of several of his most famous Opera costumes, his multiple awards, his personal collection of art and sketches Pavarotti created himself, private letters from famous friends like Celine Dion and Princess Diana, the room where he ultimately took his final breaths after his fight with cancer, and so much more.
A visit to the home museum of Pavarotti will have you leaving with a deeper appreciation for the man and opera genre.
