Piccolo museo del diario

The Piccolo museo del diario is an intense multisensory and interactive journey that was born to tell the National Diary Archives of Pieve Santo Stefano (AR) and the valuable autobiographical records it conserves. A museum trail that welcomes the visitor in an engaging and innovative way and leads him by the hand through the writings of common people who have told the story of Italy from an absolutely unpublished point of view. Private memories from individual and personal stories have become collective and universal stories, thus joining the capitalist story and intertwining with it so much to talk about "story written from below". The history of a country that finds its purest, everyday, honest, honest identity here. Stories, memories, letters and diaries that erase the filters of the rectitude and make us understand the world we live in, our country, our society.

MAEC - Museo dell'Accademia Etrusca

The MAEC houses an extraordinary collection bringing together all the material discovered in and around Cortona since the 1700s.The museum collection can be visited in two sections: one dedicated to the Etruscan Academy, and the other centered on the most recent findings from the Cortona necropolis. The collection of the Accademai Etrusca boasts exceptional pieces from various historical periods, like the celebrated Etruscan Chandelier, ancient Egyptian burial goods and works by futurist master Gino Severini. The section dedicated to the City of Cortona offers a journey that begins in the paleoenvironment of the Chiana Valley and arrives in the Cortona of Roman times, passing through the ancient period (580-480 B.C.E.) with the princely Etruscan tombs of the Sodo and Camucia and significant findings such as the Tabula Cortonensis, the third longest Etruscan text in the world.The layout of the museum was specifically designed to communicate with visitors in an innovative way, using both reconstructions and multimedia equipment. All texts are fully rendered in both English and Braill.

Very impressed with this museum and saw some superb artefacts, both etruscan and roman. There are four floors featuring a grand array of exhibits and apart from everything else we rather enjoyed the Roman items from the nearby excavations. In our opinion very worth a visit.

Museo Madonna del Parto

The Madonna del Parto is one of the greatest works of Piero del-la Francesca. Standing in the middle of a canopy made of pre-cious brocade, Our pregnant Lady reveals herself to the faithful. Two angels hold the tent canopy open allowing the faithful to admire the Virgin, majestic and solemn yet humble at the same time. The fresco was made around the middle of the ffteenth century in the church of Santa Maria di Momentana which no longer exists. It has been in this museum since 1992, right in the middle of a educational trail introducing visitors to the life and works of Piero della Francesca.
