The Venue
Museo dei Bozzetti Pierluigi Gherardi was founded in 1984 with the aim of documenting the activities of artists who come and visit Pietrasanta from all around the world, and decide to realize their own works in the local artisan’s workshops.
The Museo dei Bozzetti, housed in the former 16th-century Convent of Sant’Agostino, displays more than 700 maquettes, templates and drawings, realized by Italian and foreign artists. These works serve as a basis for other works stored in other museums and collections around the world, thus providing the visitor with a complete view on the artistic currents of contemporary sculpture.
