Versilian Archaeological Museum Bruno Antonucci

The Versilian Archaeological Museum Bruno Antonucci, is located in the municipality of Pietrasanta.

The museum collection is the result of the search for archaeological finds by the Versilian Speleological and Archaeological Group, led by Professor Bruno Antonucci. The artefacts found tell the story of Versilia from Prehistory to the Middle Ages.

The museum itinerary is divided into thematic areas, each dedicated to a particular historical period in Versilia

Pierluigi Gherardi Sketches Museum

The Pierluigi Gherardi Sketches Museum was born from an idea of Jette Muhlendorph, Danish photographer, journalist and art critic. Around 1980 she collected vast photographic documentation on the tradition of craftsmanship typical of the city at the workshops and foundries of Pietrasanta.

A few years later, in 1984, the Museum of Sketches was founded, based in the sixteenth-century ex-convent of Sant’Agostino.

Paolo Cresci Museum for the history of Italian emigration

The Paolo Cresci Museum for the History of Italian Emigration is dedicated to the Florentine scholar Paolo Cresci (1943-1997), who, thanks to his passion for photography, collected over the years a vast archive of documents, books and photographs on history of emigration, creating what will later become the first core of the museum. When he passed away, the Province of Lucca acquired the collection, establishing in 2002 a Foundation destined to create and manage the Museum.
