Polo Culturale Pietro Aldi
About This Museum
Did you know this unassuming cultural center in Saturnia holds the largest collection of works by Pietro Aldi, one of Tuscany's most celebrated 19th-century painters? Tucked away on a quiet piazza, it feels more like stepping into a local's elegant private library than a formal museum. The rooms are intimate, allowing you to get up close to Aldi's dramatic historical canvases and sensitive portraits. It’s a wonderfully quiet spot that feels like a genuine discovery, far from the crowded tourist trails.
Collection Highlights
You'll find Aldi's grand-scale history paintings, like scenes from the life of Garibaldi, alongside his more tender preparatory sketches and portraits that reveal his incredible draftsmanship.
