Just like Giorgio, his sisters were also teachers and, due to work commitments, they spent a short period of their lives in Egypt where they learned to appreciate certain spices, including curry, which were not yet used in Italy at the time.

However, at the Morandi household, the era of curry risottos and other elaborate dishes came to an end with Giorgio’s death in 1964: from that moment on, the Morandi sisters began to make do with simple vegetable soups and other modest dishes.

The strong emotional bond between Giorgio and his sisters has always been a determining factor in the artist’s life, as can be seen from the fact that there are two bedrooms in the house for Anna, Dina, and Maria Teresa.

What is most striking about the room on the ground floor is that, despite its simple and minimalist furnishings, it manages to convey that sense of warmth and familiarity that can also be felt inside the library. At the back, on a small dressing table, there is still the bottle and lamp holder that the sisters used to use, objects that Morandi cherished and which he repeatedly portrayed in some of his famous still lifes.
