This museum is remarkable not only because it hosts an eminent essay of the works of Giovanni Fattori and other artists of the 19th and 20th centuries; but also because the place where the museum is housed, and the events of that venue, allow a penetrating look at the character of the city of Livorno. In fact, the "Villa Mimbelli", in which the museum is housed, with its sumptuous and sophisticated architecture and decoration, tells us of a wealthy Livornese family of Dalmatian origins, enriched with the wheat trade. The consort of the owner, of Greek origin, completes the family's cosmopolitanism. From these facts the personality of the city emerges, so different from the other Tuscan cities, because it's turned much more towards the overseas than towards the mainland: the land register of the Grand Duchy of Tuscany of 1834 (it has been affirmed by historians) shows that the estates owned by Livorno citizens don't exceed the boundaries of the Municipality: Livorno "essentially possesses itself", because its reference isn't the hinterland, but the Mediterranean (and beyond). Ultimately, one of the least provincial cities in Italy, especially among those of medium size. As for the artistic collection, it is wisely exposed and organized. I greatly appreciated the audio guides, which, rented for a negligible cost (3 euros, if I remember correctly) help the visitor to select the most remarkable works, and of each of them illustrate well the stylistic characters and therefore the artistic value. Among the works that have most remained in my mind the most, i would quote "Mrs Martelli in Castiglioncello", "An episode of the battle of San Martino". "Maremma herds", "Portrait of the third wife", all by Giovanni Fattori; then "Emigrants" by Raffaello Gambogi, "Cenciaiole [women rags' collectors] from Livorno" by Eugenio Cecconi, "Portrait of Yorick" by Vittorio Corcos, "The olive harvest" by Adolfo Tommasi. And I stop here.

Allestito all’interno del Palazzo Nuovo, nel cuore del centro storico di Piombino, il Museo archeologico del territorio di Populonia è il luogo ideale dove tornare a fare un salto nel passato. Un museo spazioso (1.800 mq disposti su tre piani) che espone oltre 2.000 reperti preistorici, etruschi e di epoca romana. Da non perdere: il percorso multimediale e musicale, gli allestimenti in scala reale di attività e di ambienti antichi, le grandi ricostruzioni di paesaggio e soprattutto l’anfora argentea di Baratti, capolavoro in argento proveniente dal mare, simbolo del Museo e della bellezza del territorio.
