Sant'Anna di Stazzema - Museo e Parco Nazionale della Pace, History museum in Stazzema, Italy
Sant'Anna di Stazzema - Museo e Parco Nazionale della Pace is a memorial site that combines a museum, a peace park, and several monuments with information about the area's wartime history. The complex sits on a hillside and includes different areas where visitors can explore the site's past.
The site was established after a massacre on August 12, 1944, when hundreds of residents were killed. The memorial preserves the memory of this event and of the men, women, and children who lost their lives.
The museum displays photographs, documents, and personal objects that show how the community lived before and after the war. These items help visitors understand the impact on everyday life in the village.
The site is reached via a mountain road from Pietrasanta, and parking is available for visitors year-round. Visitors should plan to spend time walking through the grounds to see all the different areas and memorials.
An ossuary at Col di Cava holds identified remains and displays victim names on memorial plaques. Architect Tito Salvatori designed this space with careful attention to remembrance.
