One of the bedrooms of the house, where his sisters probably slept.

The decoration of the walls, in tempera, presents a stratification: the skirting board, with architectural designs and ornaments, dates back to the second half of the 18th century, the crowning cornice, in Art Deco taste, to the beginning of the 20th century.

The museum preserves original furnishings, precious objects belonging to the musician, including autograph scores of young compositions (the first work, the Orchestral Prelude found in 1999, and the 4 voices Mass of 1880), many letters by and Giacomo Puccini ( like those by Giulio Ricordi), paintings, photographs, sketches, memorabilia and precious documents, such as copies of work and drafts of the libraries of Tosca and La fanciulla del West, a rare draft of the score of La fanciulla del West, a score de La rondine, full of autograph annotations and musical sketches.
