Piaggio Museum
The Piaggio Museum is the largest and most complete Italian museum dedicated to two wheels. It welcomes one-of-a-kind pieces that tell not only the history of the Piaggio Group and its brands, but also trace the history of mobility and industrial and social development in Italy. The exhibition, which is spread over an area of 5,000 square meters, shows countless models produced by Piaggio throughout its history: scooters (such as the famous Vespa) and motorcycles, but also ships, trains, airplanes and cars.
Certosa di Calci e Museo di Storia Naturale
Located a few kilometers from Pisa on the slopes of the Monti Pisani, the Certosa di Calci is an exceptional place where amazement and enchantment mix with science, history, art and nature.
The building of the Certosa di Calci, dating back to the 14th century (as a monastic complex) and enlarged between the 17th and 18th centuries, looks like a splendid Baroque monument.
The complex houses the National Museum of the Certosa di Calci whose visit will lead you to discover the world of the "Carthusian" monks and the life they led - made up of rigor, meditation and contemplation - but also the architectural beauties starting from the church with its beautiful frescoes, the chapels of the friars, the large refectory and many beautiful rooms all furnished with great magnificence which have hosted the most noble families of Tuscany over the centuries.
Next to the Certosa di Calci is the Natural History Museum. Particularly suitable for children (thanks also to interactive panels), here you can admire an infinite number of zoological, paleontological and mineralogy exhibits, as well as live animals housed in the largest freshwater aquarium in Italy.
