Museo del viaggio Fabrizio De André

Museo del viaggio Fabrizio De André stands in Milan’s Rogoredo district, presenting Romani and Sinti cultures through objects, documents, and images. Italy’s first museum dedicated to these communities opened in 2011 through the work of the Bezzecchi family, particularly Giorgio Bezzecchi.

Traditional objects sit alongside audiovisual material, a restored caravan, roulottes, and campers that show different forms of housing. Inside the caravan, a multimedia installation traces community history from the twentieth century to the present, while conversations with residents of the local Romani camp bring everyday experience into view. Research, workshops, courses, and cultural events extend that work beyond the displays.

Fabrizio De André’s collaboration with Giorgio Bezzecchi on the song “Khorakanè” gives the museum its personal connection to the Italian singer-songwriter. That restored caravan, carrying a history across an entire century, remains its most distinctive space.
