Welcome on our new website!

We’re delighted to welcome you to the new website of the Ruggero Leoncavallo Foundation in Brissago. We invite you to explore the Museum and discover the close ties between the composer of Pagliacci and the town of Brissago on the shores of Lake Maggiore.

Brissago holds a special place in Leoncavallo’s life. It was here, on the shores of Lake Maggiore, that he chose to live and work. His connection to the town continues to shape the Foundation’s work today. Through the Ruggero Leoncavallo Museum and our programme of public concerts, we keep the memory of his years in Brissago alive and give audiences the chance to hear his music, from his best-known works to pieces rarely heard in concert.

On our website, you’ll find everything you need to plan a visit to the Museum, along with a calendar of our activities. For each event, you can explore the programme, find out more about the performers and get practical information for your visit.

Whether you’re an opera lover, a local resident or simply visiting Lake Maggiore, we hope these pages spark your curiosity and inspire you to come and see us.

We look forward to welcoming you to Brissago!
