Academy of Euteleti

The Academy of Euteleti is a museum and scholarly institution in San Miniato housed within Palazzo Migliorati, a 14th-century building. The space contains an extensive archive and library holding regional documents spanning different historical periods.

The institution was founded in the 17th century as the Academy of Affidati and underwent refounding in 1822 under Torello Pierazzi and poet Pietro Bagnoli. This second founding redirected the Academy toward regional research and documentation.

The Academy serves as a center for local scholarship where researchers and writers engage with regional knowledge. Walking through its spaces, visitors sense the intellectual tradition embedded in these rooms.

The museum is open to visitors on certain days but requires advance arrangements for other times. It helps to check ahead when visits are possible and whether a reservation is necessary.

The museum holds a death mask of Napoleon Bonaparte created by physicians Antommarchi and Francis Burton. This rare artifact connects local history with a major chapter of European history.
