Tips from the Community
The programmatic name PEACE FRAME of the artwork located here literally invites us to quote from the message of Pope Leo XIV on the occasion of the World Day of Peace (January 1, 2026): + »„Peace be with you!“ this very old greeting, which is still commonplace in many cultures today, was filled with new strength on Easter evening by the risen Jesus. [So] is his word, which not only expresses a wish, but brings about a lasting change in those who accept it, and thus in the whole of reality. (…) Peace exists, it wants to dwell in us, it has the gentle power to enlighten and broaden the mind, it resists violence and overcomes it. Peace has the breath of eternity: while one shouts 'Enough!' to evil, one whispers 'Forever!' to peace. This horizon has been opened up to us by the Risen One.«

The Sant'Anna di Stazzema memorial commemorates the massacre committed by German soldiers on August 12, 1944. In just a few hours, more than 550 people were killed. Today, the site of that massacre has become a National Peace Park, and a Resistance Museum is open to visitors.

The monumental frame by American sculptor Nall, which dominates the entrance to Via Mazzini-Piazza Crispi as you approach from the Piazza Statuto parking lot, has returned to its original location. Since its installation in 2006, it has become one of the historic center's main artistic attractions. The sculpture has undergone a delicate restoration by the Fonderia Versiliese. Donated to the city of Pietrasanta by the Alabama State Council on the Arts, the large frame is once again in perfect condition. The planned careful but rapid conservation restoration, which lasted about a month, was also completed. The frame was placed on a new base at street level.

Alba Gonzales. The subject of the sphinx recurs in many of her works, with the creature's typical ambivalence. For Gonzales, the sphinx embodies the seductive allure of many contemporary dreams and myths. Today's sphinx no longer poses its deadly enigmas because it has become an enigma itself. This Sphinx offers a dove, a bird sacred to Aphrodite and a symbol of prostitution. It mirrors a sexual act no longer experienced authentically, but mechanically, and a narcissism contrasted with openness and contact with others.

You would almost think it was a real boy. Inconspicuous sculpture.

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.
