The new museum in Mantua showcases Virgil's life and works across eight galleries, celebrating his contributions as Rome's poet laureate in a historic setting.
Virgil, born in Mantua in 70 B.C., is remembered for his masterpieces like the Aeneid, reflecting both his local roots and global literary impact.
The Palazzo del Podesta, restored to house the museum, has historical significance not only as an administration seat but also as a symbol of Virgil's legacy.
Virgil's writings and legacy have profoundly influenced culture and literature, from his role in the Renaissance to his guidance of Dante through the afterlife.
