Tips from the Community
The programmatic name PEACE FRAME of the artwork located here literally invites us to quote from the message of Pope Leo XIV on the occasion of the World Day of Peace (January 1, 2026): + »„Peace be with you!“ this very old greeting, which is still commonplace in many cultures today, was filled with new strength on Easter evening by the risen Jesus. [So] is his word, which not only expresses a wish, but brings about a lasting change in those who accept it, and thus in the whole of reality. (…) Peace exists, it wants to dwell in us, it has the gentle power to enlighten and broaden the mind, it resists violence and overcomes it. Peace has the breath of eternity: while one shouts 'Enough!' to evil, one whispers 'Forever!' to peace. This horizon has been opened up to us by the Risen One.«

A fountain brimming with water located along Via delle Sezioni, between Bargecchia and Corsanico. It is part of a larger complex above, also including a washhouse with two basins. The booklet "The Ancient Washhouses" edited by the Municipality of Massarosa states: "For centuries, the Tre Fontane spring has served the needs of much of the population of Corsanico, as well as some families from nearby Bargecchia. The existence of the spring is mentioned in some 16th-century writings of the Corsanico parish, currently kept in the historical archives of the Camaiore priory. The three fountains, two located inside an elegant vaulted nymphaeum above the level of Via delle Sezioni, feed the adjacent washhouse, which is divided into two basins: a large one for heavy washing and a small one for rinsing. The third, which flows more abundantly, is located on Via delle Sezioni and was once used both for watering animals and for watering. The washhouse, with its fountains, still inspires awe today and remains a testimony to the history of Corsanico."

The monumental frame by American sculptor Nall, which dominates the entrance to Via Mazzini-Piazza Crispi as you approach from the Piazza Statuto parking lot, has returned to its original location. Since its installation in 2006, it has become one of the historic center's main artistic attractions. The sculpture has undergone a delicate restoration by the Fonderia Versiliese. Donated to the city of Pietrasanta by the Alabama State Council on the Arts, the large frame is once again in perfect condition. The planned careful but rapid conservation restoration, which lasted about a month, was also completed. The frame was placed on a new base at street level.
