Historic Center of Pietrasanta

Highlight • Historical Site

The Museo dei Bozzetti (Museum of Sketches) in Pietrasanta is a unique place that offers a fascinating insight into the creative process of sculptors. Housed in the former convent of Sant’Agostino, the museum houses over 700 sketches, models and drawings by more than 350 Italian and foreign artists12.

The collection consists mainly of small sketches and life-size models that show the preparatory steps of a sculptor. These works are often as impressive as the final sculptures and provide a deep insight into the artistic vision and technique of the artists2.
The museum is a must-see for art lovers and offers a unique opportunity to follow the evolution of a work of art, from concept to completion.

Pietrasanta

Highlight • Settlement

Pietrasanta is the most important city of Versilia (the coastal sub-region of the province of Lucca) and the capital of the artistic marble-working.
City of medieval origin, important also from the religious point of view, being located on the Via Francigena, inherited from the Middle Ages the urban layout, the fortifications with the Fortress and, above all, the Cathedral of S. Martino, the former convent of S. Agostino, the Palazzo Pretorio and numerous palaces, enclosed in the historical center.
Since ancient times Pietrasanta has been linked to the working of bronze and marble (which is extracted from the nearby Apuan Alps and was also used by Michelangelo for its masterpieces) and is now an open-air museum: in addition to the many art workshops or art galleries, you can visit and admire too in its streets and squares the works that famous modern authors such as Mitoraj and Botero, Mirò and Pomodoro have donated to the city.
There are also many Italian and foreign artists who have chosen Pietrasanta as a permanent place of residence, while thousands of tourists pour out every summer into the wide territory of the town, attracted by art, the Apuan mountains and the sea.
