"Small, but very interesting museum. Very suggestive to visit."
Boris Susmak
"What an amazing instrument. All the care and workmanship that goes into the fisarmonica. A great museum well worth a visit. Daniele was on hand to answer all our questions very knowledgeably, plus a short film with English subtitles gave us a brief but informative description of the history surrounding this instrument. Many beautiful examples of the range of the different styles all made with such skill.
Well worth a visit. 5 euro entrance fee. We parked jut below the walls and the museum is well signposted.
Allow around an hour as a minimum but do not miss it if you are staying in Marche!"
