Pietrasanta · Crafts & Artisan Experiences

Pietrasanta has been the international sculpture capital since Michelangelo quarried Carrara marble nearby. Contemporary artists from worldwide work alongside traditional artisan carvers in marble studios open to visitors. The town's bronze foundries offer unique insight into lost-wax casting techniques, while workshops provide instruction in stone carving and sculpting. Walking the streets reveals artisans at work through open studio doors.
