As Mike Kitner told in 2000.07.08.01 MMD, the Museo di Strumenti
Musicali Meccanici in Savio, 25 km outside Ravenna, is closed.
It is listed in http://home.kabelfoon.nl/~havo/en_idx2.htm and in
http://www.cnam.fr/museum/musica_mecanica/a/musee/italie/index.html
Recently I happened to pass by Ravenna, and since the local tourist
information office posted its location and open times, and were helpful
to instruct on the route, I ventured to go there anyway, only to find a
handwritten note on its dusty door telling that you could make
appointments for groups of at least 10 persons.
People in the nearby restaurant testified that it is a very nice
collection, and deeply deplored its inaccessibility -- it is not
always easy to run a private museum.
