An interesting fact: from the windows of the Grand Hotel Roma, you can directly overlook the history of Giuseppe Verdi, one of the greatest composers and opera musicians of all time.

The former Hotel San Marco, the currently closed building facing the other side of Via Cittadella, was for many years Verdi’s “Piacenza home” where he often stopped during his travels, coming from his villa in Sant’Agata di Villanova sull’Arda (a village in the Piacenza area where Verdi’s parents were from). In an apartment reserved for him, Verdi received authorities and acquaintances, attended to his commitments, and took care of his affairs.

Although it is now unused and not open to visitors, the former Hotel San Marco continues to be an important testimony to the city’s cultural heritage, thanks also to its features, including the exquisite Liberty canopy decorated with sunflowers and stylized plant motifs, created in the early 20th century. It is a first stop, just a few meters from the entrance of the Grand Hotel Roma, for those who want to dedicate a visit to the buildings and monuments that have marked and written the history of Piacenza.
