The Wagner Museum in Venice is located in the Palazzo Ca´ Vendramin Calergi, which is one of the city´s most beautiful constructions and it´s a building where, throughout history, was inhabited by very important people. The government of Venice decided to house the Wagner Museum in this place because it´s the place where the famous German composer Richard Wagner died. The artist stayed six times in Venice between 1858 and the day that he died and, the last time, he rented the whole floor of the Palazzo Ca´ Vendramin, where he was staying, which was, at that time, property of the Count of Bardi. Wagner died from a heart attack in the palace on February 13th 1883 at 69 years of age, and today it´s converted in his museum. At the place there´s an inscription that the novelist and poet Gabriele D´Annunzio wrote, that says: “In this palace the souls heard the last breath of Richard Wagner”. Without doubt, as well as the imposing construction of the building, the museum is worthy of being visited. You can rent apartments in Venice and enjoy Ca´ Vendramin...
