Archivissima : a journey into the State Archives

From 4 to 7 June, Archivissima returns: a journey through the archives of all Italy’s regions, featuring a special section waiting to be discovered. With over 400 participating organisations, 150 new members, 25 regional or thematic networks, and 150 in-person events across the country, it is clear that Archivissima has become a major and eagerly anticipated celebration for all archives – a unique initiative in Italy and Europe dedicated to promoting and showcasing them.

In Santa Maria a Monte (40km from Pisa), the Civic Museum will be open exceptionally on Friday 5 June at 9.30 pm, with a free guided tour of the museum’s exhibits displaying documents from the Pre-Unification Municipal Historical Archive of Santa Maria a Monte.
In the second part of the evening, participants are taken to the nearby Municipal Historical Archive on the second floor of the “Casa Carducci” Museum, which houses documents dating from the mid-14th century up to the unification of Italy. Free admission. Bookings on +39.333 349 5168 or by email at: musei@comune.santamariaamonte.pi.it

On Friday 5 June, San Miniato joins “Archivissima”, with an event dedicated to memory, culture and the stories preserved in the archives. From 6.00 pm to 10.00 pm, visitors will be able to explore the archives of the Fondazione Istituto Dramma Popolare and discover materials, accounts and interesting facts relating to the history of the theatre and the town.
