Audioguida A. Entrance / Historical Introduction

Our visit to the Museo Gotica Toscana begins here.

At the entrance, you’ll find decorations from military units that have visited the museum, alongside memorabilia, medals, and personal items belonging to veterans who fought here, donated with gratitude by their families.
