Pietrasanta

Pietrasanta has long been a source of inspiration for sculptors from all over the world. The town is home to countless studios and workshops and to a rich tradition of craftsmanship that is inseparably linked to working in marble.

Sculptures can be found everywhere in Pietrasanta: along the roads, in squares and on roundabouts. In the historic center, there are more than thirty galleries and exhibition spaces. On and around the piazza, among the many restaurants and terraces, monumental works are regularly exhibited. The nearby coast also gives this area its own atmosphere, where art, craftsmanship and Italian life naturally come together.

From the town, several centuries-old paths lead up to villages higher in the hills through the unspoilt natural surroundings.

Right next to Pietrasanta lies Seravezza, with famous quarries in the Versilia area, such as Cervaiole. This marble region has played an important role in the sculptural tradition of the region for centuries.

The whole town has an artistic atmosphere. Pietrasanta is a place where many people immediately feel at home, a special setting in which history, craftsmanship and contemporary art come together.
