The museum itinerary includes different stations: each room is dedicated to a different theme, like stages of a journey through the life, works and imagination of Luigi Pirandello (1867-1936).
Casa Museo Luigi Pirandello is located inside the birthplace of the writer, who lived here during his childhood and adolescence. It is a late eighteenth-century building located in the Caos district, in Agrigento: the family moved here in 1867, the year of Luigi’s birth, because they were forced to flee from cholera.
The birthplace of Luigi Pirandello is located in a countryside district, overlooking the sea, called “Caos”, on the border between the territory of the municipality of Agrigento (4 kilometers) and that of the municipality of Porto Empedocles.
The rooms on the upper floor overlooking the surrounding countryside host personal objects, photographs, honors, reviews, letters, manuscripts and first editions of books with autograph dedications, posters of the most famous works of the great writer from Agrigento and the Greek vase used to transport his ashes from the Verano cemetery to Agrigento.
The ground floor periodically hosts temporary exhibitions dedicated to the Maestro. Since 1987 the birthplace has been a single institution with the Luigi Pirandello Library which is based in Agrigento.
