Volterra | House Museum Raffaello Consortini

In front of the large lawn of the Church of San Giusto, just outside the walls of the historic centre, is the Casa Museo Consortini, which houses a personal and artistic exhibition of Raffaello Consortini, a sculptor of national renown with a shy character and genuine talent.

There are forty main works by the sculptor from Volterra; scenes of everyday life, of animals and local people doing things or simply posing for a portrait. And again, of household objects, funerary objects and various classical decorations. Fascinating photographs in terracotta, bronze and wood of personal moments of life lived, of a Volterra that no longer exists, of a twentieth century that has now passed into history.
