The Rossetti European Centre is based in Vasto, in "Casa Rossetti", where the worldly famous family originated. It is there that Gabriele Rossetti was born, in 1783, before being an exile in London, where he died in 1854. His children (Dante Gabriel, Christina, William Michael, Francesca) all became, in their respective fields, milestones of European culture. The Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, founded by Dante Gabriel, has been among the most important cultural movements in modern Europe, encompassing the worlds of both literature and visual arts.
