Discover Selci Lama: Printing History, Music and Mountains

Selci Lama is a destination where local printing history, music and church art come together with surroundings in which several mountains are located. This creates a culturally rich place with points of interest both in the town and in the wider area. Those who wish to get to know Italy not only through its well-known centres, but also through specific collections, buildings and established traditions, will find a range of themes here for an individually planned trip.

Culture between Collections and Printing History

The Museo delle Scatole e dei Ricordi displays a collection of boxes from different periods and places of origin. The Museo dello Stabilimento Tipografico “Pliniana” is located in the Stabilimento Tipografico “Pliniana” in Selci Lama. The Stabilimento Tipografico “Pliniana” was founded in 1913; the museum preserves historic printing instruments, machines, typefaces and printing plates. The founding year 1913 also places this printing site within the early history of the 20th century.

Music, Theatre and Church Art

The Teatro Filarmonica “Francesco Giabbanelli” was established at the beginning of the 20th century, with austere and elegant lines, in Selci di San Giustino. The Selci band has continuously served as a music school since its foundation. A wind band association was already founded in Selci in 1901. For those interested in music, Selci offers a distinction between theatre history, the music school, the wind band association and the event scheduled for a specific date. The Chiesa di Sant'Andrea in Selci continues to be a parish church.

In 2024, a reproduction of Francesco Tiferne's painting “Madonna con Santi” was installed in Sant'Andrea in Selci. The original painting had previously been located in Sant'Andrea in Selci and was transferred to the Diocesan Museum of Città di Castello. The parish of Sant'Andrea in Selci has been active since 1735. The church art is located at Sant'Andrea and at the Diocesan Museum of Città di Castello.
