Volterra is famed for its alabaster and holds an exquisite collection of sculptures at the Ecomuseum, Etruscan riches in alabaster art can be seen at the Guarnacci museum and there are splendid antique artefacts at the historic Palazzo Viti. There is an especially moving collection at the Museum of Sacred Art with sculptures, tapestries and paintings from churches and cathedrals nearby.
Visit Pisa to see the frescoes at Camposanto’s cloistered cemetry. The 13th century pulpit at the baptistery by the great sculptor Nicola Pisanus. Palazzo Blu charms with its 14th century blue facade on the banks of the Arno, over two floors it houses a collection spanning 600 years of Pisan art.
