The last five years of his life Alfred Nobel spent in Sanremo. He bought a large moorish-style villa surrounded by a beautiful park with orange and palm trees. The place was formerly owned by a Polish poet, Josephy Ignacy Kraszewsky who named it Mio Nido, “My Nest.” Nobel renamed the house “Villa Nobel” and built a laboratory close by. Here the groundwork for several of his later inventions was initiated. He also built a small jetty to carry out powder and firearms tests. 

Alfred Nobel died here on December 10, 1896 at the age of 63. In the 1960s the villa was bought by the authorities of Sanremo and later converted into a museum open to the public. It houses a library and a collection of personal items which belonged to Alfred Nobel made available by the Nobel Foundation of Stockholm.
