The Pavese Museum

The first and the third room host a series of books belonged to the writer, first editions, books with inscriptions, and some memorabilia. The second room describes instead the personal and professional life of Cesare Pavese, retracing its main events through the places he crossed. A series of posts along the walls invite the visitor to read between the lines of some of his works, for a more intimate insight into them. The fourth room – since 2022 dedicated to Maurizio Cossa Majno di Capriglio and called Dialoghi – actually invites to start a dialogue with Pavese’s works and poetics, thanks to a new multimedia setup. Here is on display the original copy of the Dialogues with Leucò where the writer left his last message, before committing suicide. Along with it, the room hosts the Molina and Vaudagna collections, fully accessible to the public also in their digital version. 

Thanks to the collaboration with Centro Studi “Guido Gozzano-Cesare Pavese” and with the State Archive the museum is also enriched with  a series of panels displaying the original manuscripts of some of Pavese’s works.
