Sculpture and History in Pietrasanta

An important cultural landmark is the Museo dei Bozzetti “Pierluigi Gherardi” in Pietrasanta. It was founded in 1984 and contains more than 1,000 bozzetti and models of sculptures, predominantly made of plaster, by more than 380 Italian and international artists. The large number and variety of design forms make the museum a suitable destination for anyone wishing to explore sculpture and artistic marble working in greater depth.

Under the Lorena dynasty, a school for artistic marble working was established in Pietrasanta. Another historic building is the Duomo di San Martino, which was built in the 14th century. Palazzo Panichi displays rotating selections of bozzetti as an outpost of the Museo dei Bozzetti Pierluigi Gherardi. In this way, marble working, sacred architecture and sculpture models come together as distinct cultural highlights.
