Museo "Riccardo Francovich" Centre for Documentation of the Territory

The "Riccardo Francovich" Centre for Documentation of the Territory was established in 1991, to collect and valorise the results of archeological investigations carried out at the Rocca pisana, the Pisan Castle of Scarlino, by Riccardo Francovich and his students of the University of Siena, between 1979 and 1983.
The excavations of the Rocca have enabled the reconstruction of the principal phases of the history of Scarlino’s hill, and the bringing to light of numerous walled structures that indicate a long, indeed an extremely long usage of this site, beginning around the 12th century BCE.
The museum is arranged in three exhibition rooms that, through the objects discovered during the excavations, document life on the hill of Scarlino, and at the Rocca Pisana (the Pisan Castle).
