Pietrasanta, Tuscany, Italy
" It is Pietrasanta that the Tuscan, or lover of Tuscany, after exile north of the river Magra, first feels that he is home once more. It is not an old town, as Italian towns go: it was built in the thirteenth century... an isolated bit of Florentine territory hemmed by its enemies." Date: 1904

EDITORS COMMENTS
Pietrasanta, nestled in the heart of Tuscany, Italy, is a town that transports the Tuscan traveler or admirer of Italian culture back to their roots, even if they have ventured north of the Magra River. Unlike many ancient Italian towns, Pietrasanta is a relatively young settlement, established in the 13th century. It was an isolated outpost of the Florentine Republic, surrounded by its adversaries, making its survival and growth all the more remarkable. The town's rich history is evident in its architectural and artistic heritage. Pietrasanta's medieval walls, cobblestone streets, and elegant palaces bear testament to its past. The town's most notable feature, however, is its status as a center for sculpture. Pietrasanta has been a hub for artists since the 15th century, with many drawn to the town's abundant white marble quarries. The artistic legacy of Pietrasanta continues to this day, with numerous galleries, studios, and workshops showcasing the works of contemporary artists. This photograph, taken in 1904, captures the timeless beauty of Pietrasanta. The image of the town's picturesque streets and elegant buildings, bathed in the golden light of the Italian sun, invites the viewer to explore its history and culture. Pietrasanta remains a must-visit destination for anyone seeking to immerse themselves in the art, history, and natural beauty of Tuscany.
