Pietrasanta, the capital of Versilia, is a first-class artistic centre.

It has always been a point of reference for marble and bronze work, and numerous writers, painters and sculptors such as Giosuè Carducci, Fernando Botero and Igor Mitoraj are linked to it.

It offers a historical centre full of art galleries, seasonal exhibitions in the Piazza del Duomo, museums and historical buildings.

Marina di Pietrasanta is the seaside resort and the prestigious Versiliana Festival is held in its pine forest every year.
