MuGot - Museo Gotica Toscana — Attraction in Scarperia e San Piero

This museum is a must see for anyone interested in the Second World War. Run by dedicated volunteers, many of them veterans themselves, this organization and museum have an impact much bigger than the size of the building would suggest from the outside.

These amazing volunteers have a passion and expertise in WWII history and are a wealth of information. You will leave with a new appreciation for the battles fought here.

If you have family that fought in the area of the Gothic Line in Italy in WWII, as I did, here you will find people with information about those units that can bring those events to life for you.

The museum displays are well planned and executed. Most of the items are authentic, found or donated by veterans or their families. The maps, exquisite dioramas, and photos help to bring the past into sharper focus to help understand the events of that battle.

Beyond the museum, the volunteers have marked trails and battlefields to allow you to navigate the route of the battle. Still other sites have been reconstructed to demonstrate the locations and conditions during the battle.

The battlefield tours are highly recommended.
