The Museum of the Risorgimento was inaugurated on May 5, 1915 at Palazzo Bianco, in Genoa.

Since 1934, it has been located in the birth home of Giuseppe Mazzini at 11 Lomellini Street.

The Museum of the Risorgimento exhibits a rich historical and artistic heritage such as documents, paintings, prints, weapons, uniforms, and photographs in which the figures of the Risorgimento come to life: Mazzini and the republican and democratic movement, Garibaldi and the Redshirts, Goffredo Mameli and the Italian Anthem.

The exhibition traces the events that led to the Unification of Italy, from the anti-Austrian Genoese revolt of 1746 to the inauguration of the Monument to the Thousand of Quarto in 1915. Special emphasis is given to the manuscript of the first handwritten draft of the Italian Anthem by Goffredo Mameli, first sung in public in Genoa on December 10, 1847, and to the testimonies related to the figure of Giuseppe Mazzini, including his guitar from his London exile, still played on special occasions today.
