The house in via Fondazza 36, where Giorgio Morandi lived and worked from 1910 to 1964 was opened to the public on 17^th October 2009. The project of renovation of the house, assigned to the architect Massimo Iosa Ghini, has been carried out thanks to Comune di Bologna and the essential support of Unindustria Bologna.

In the house-museum there is a huge part of the donation that Carlo Zucchini, generously trasmitted to the city of Bologna. Vases, bottles, shells and study models find their original collocation in the atelier and in the store-room, which have been reconstructed so as to appear as they were at the time when the artist lived. The furnishings of the family and part of the collection of the works of ancient art that belonged to Morandi are collected in the anteroom; the rest of the environments has been designed and articulated so as to offer to the visitor a path, which, through an accurate selection of photos, books and documents of different types displayed in elegant cases, narrates the main periods of time of the life of the master, from the relations with the family, to the artistic education, from the encounters with characters of the world of cinema and art to the work in his studio.

Audio-video installations, a library with more than 600 volumes that can be read upon booking, a multipurpose room dedicated to meetings, seminars and cultural activities, contribute to deepen and to update the figure and the work of the great Bolognese artist.
