tripadvisorIn case you thought it was Alexander Bell. You are mistaken. Antonio Meucci did in this house on Staten Island. Giuseppe Garibaldi the George Washington of Italy also lived here. A lot of history here.
MoreVisited the Meucci’s house where Giuseppe GARIBALDI lived in has been an experience for us. Many objects to see used by the man that made Italy. Meucci story is a injustice story. Definitely Bell stole the invention and you know already the end. But is another Italian genius that as many others made the today world....
Morethe founder of the italian republic lived on staten island for a while in the late 1850's and the house has memorobilia. check times. bus stops right in front of the place
MoreThis house, once home to Antonio Meucci, the true inventor of the telephone, and Giuseppe Garibaldi, the freedom fighter, isn't too far from the ferry in the town of Rosebank. It sits up high overlooking a beautiful lawn and patio. The museum is dedicated to these two men and the time they spent in the house. A young volunteer did a beautiful job showing us through the house and answering our questions. A small art gallery space is also included with the low donation.
MoreThe man who invented the telephone and the man who unified Italy lived together in this humble building. It may be humble in size and style, but it is massive as far as the two brilliant Italians who called this building home during the 19th century.Visit, see the rooms where they slept, learn of their beer and candle-making endeavors, and then go home and ponder on what took place in this corner of STaten Island.
