威尔第别墅
Villa Verdi
布塞托 · 意大利
1844年，威尔第买下圣阿加塔的农田；1848年，他下令在原有农舍基础上兴建别墅。工程几经停顿，直到1880年才完成，最初的房屋也被扩建后的建筑取代：前方有两翼和露台，后方增设温室、小礼拜堂与马车车库。威尔第与朱塞平娜·斯特雷波尼扩大花园，种下许多树木，其中一些来自异域，至今仍然存活。斯特雷波尼与威尔第于1851年迁入，此后，除旅行和少数冬季外，威尔第一生大多在这里度过。正如原文所说：“most of Verdi's life was lived at the Villa.”
斯特雷波尼1897年去世后，威尔第在别墅停留得少了，但仍亲自管理庄园，并经营着有盈利的农场。如今，别墅由威尔第表亲玛丽亚·菲洛梅娜·威尔第的后代、卡拉拉—威尔第家族的四位兄弟姐妹共同拥有；他们把威尔第夫妇曾抚养如女儿的亲人留下的家族联系延续至今，并全年居住在别墅的一部分。博物馆开放南翼一层的五个房间：斯特雷波尼去世的卧室、威尔第使用过的弗里茨钢琴、他的卧室与书房，以及保存米兰大酒店157号房家具的房间。那里还留着威尔第去世时穿的衬衣和死亡面模，使一座仍有人居住的宅邸，也成为一段生活的具体见证。原文称：“which was occupied by the composer and his wife.”
In 1844, Verdi bought the farmland at Sant'Agata, and in 1848 he ordered a villa to be built on it. The work began as extensions to an existing farmhouse, but the project expanded until the original house was replaced. The completed estate had two wings with terraces, greenhouses, a chapel, and garages for coaches. Verdi and Giuseppina Strepponi enlarged the garden and planted many trees, including some of exotic origin, a few of which are still alive. They moved into the Villa in 1851. Apart from journeys to European cities and a few winter stays elsewhere, Verdi spent most of his life there. The source captures the scale of that connection in the words: “most of Verdi's life was lived at the Villa.”
After Strepponi's death in 1897, Verdi spent less time at the estate, though he continued to oversee it personally and ran a profitable farming business. Today, the Villa belongs to four siblings of the Carrara-Verdi family, descendants of Verdi's younger cousin Maria Filomena Verdi, whom Verdi and his wife brought up as a daughter. Parts of the house remain their year-round home, while the south wing is partly used as a museum. Visitors can see five ground-floor rooms occupied by the composer and his wife: Strepponi's bedroom, Verdi's bedroom and study, the dressing room with the Fritz piano, and the Grand Hotel et de Milan room. The last contains furniture from Room 157, where Verdi died, along with his death shirt and deathmask. As the source states, the rooms “were occupied by the composer and his wife.”
