PIACENZA – The House Museum of Giuseppe Verdi in Sant’Agata di Villanova d’Arda will close its doors. This was announced this morning in an interview with the Libertà di Piacenza newspaper, explaining that the Swan’s house in Busseto is likely to be sold, Angiolo Carrara Verdi. Evicting him from the Villa del Maestro was civil justice in the context of a twenty-year-long legal battle between brothers.
Sunday October 30th is the last day of the museum opening. The Court of Cassation has decided that the legacy of Alberto Carrara Verdi, who died in 2001, should be divided equally between the children (Maria Mercedes, Ludovica, Angiolo and Emanuela, the latter died in 2020). However, since no one can take over the shares of the other, the Villa Verdi is intended for sale.
“I have to leave the house to which I have returned since 2010 to live with my family and which I have protected and preserved for years, the place where I have spent practically 53 years of my life,” said Angiolo Carrara Verdi . For me, villa and museum were never two separate entities. And since I can no longer live in Sant’Agata, I can no longer take care of the museum. I will liquidate the company ».
