The Byron and Risorgimento museums open evenings: every wednesday from july 2 to august 27

The Byron and Risorgimento Museums can now be enjoyed in a wholly new way; the stories of the English poet and the Carbonari, of Garibaldi and Countess Guiccioli will exert a special fascination on those visitors and journalists from all over the world who explore the enchanting palazzo and its noble courtyard in the twilight and amid the shades of summer evenings. This is the exciting novelty for July and August 2025: visitors to Ravenna will find the Byron and Risorgimento Museums open in the evening every Wednesday from July 2 to August 27, until 10pm, as part of the “Mosaico di Notte” programme.

The Byron Society Now Also in Italy, Based in Ravenna at Palazzo Guiccioli

Ravenna is now officially the headquarters of the Italian Byron Society, affiliated with the prestigious International Association of Byron Societies, which promotes the dissemination of Byronic scholarship worldwide by organizing conferences, debates, events, exhibitions, scholarships, and any other initiative aimed at raising awareness of the English poet’s life and works. Ravenna thus becomes the Italian capital of these studies, and its official headquarters will be Palazzo Guiccioli, which hosted the poet and witnessed the creation of some of his most important works between 1819 and 1821. Starting October 26, the Palazzo will also house the Byron Museum.
