Founded on the border between Liguria and Tuscany, Luni was a major political, economic and cultural crossroads for more than 1,400 years. Mentioned by Dante in the Divine Comedy, it constituted an object of archaeological interest since the 19th century: the city was the focus of the first excavation campaigns ordered by Charles Albert. Now, after a long closure, the National Archaeological Museum of Luni (La Spezia) reopens to the public to enhance one of the most important sites in Liguria for the study of ancient history and Romanization. At the heart of the new museum is the deep connection between the Roman colony of Luni and marble-a history that starts with quarrying in local quarries, passes through processing techniques and trade, and ends with the use of marble in the construction of the city. The entire archaeological site covers 24 hectares and preserves large parts of the rural landscape of historic Lunigiana, offering a fascinating journey through monumental remains, nature, and memory.
