Museums covering technology, sacred art and craftsmanship

The Museo della Radio houses a collection of around 270 radios from different eras and parts of the world. It is located at Via Roma 75, next to the Cinema Olimpia in Tavarnelle Val di Pesa. The museum's specific setting and the collection's international chronological range make it a distinctive cultural attraction for anyone who wants to discover not only churches and historic buildings, but also technical objects while travelling.

Santa Lucia al Borghetto offers another glimpse into history. The building is one of the finest examples of Franciscan architecture in the Chianti area. Its first documented mention dates back to 1278. Santa Lucia therefore combines architectural significance with a clearly documented historical context. When planning your trip, a visit can be particularly well combined with other cultural experiences, without limiting the journey to a single historical period.

The local lace-making tradition is also part of Tavarnelle's cultural profile. Punto Tavarnelle originated in the early years of the 20th century. In Tavarnelle, a dedicated museum displays a significant collection of historic Punto Tavarnelle lacework. It includes household textiles, wedding dresses, ecclesiastical vestments and shoes. The variety of objects shows how broad this craft was in terms of its forms and areas of use.

The Museo d’arte sacra di San Pietro in Bossolo displays liturgical objects from the 15th to the 19th century. It also contains two processional crosses dating from the 13th century. If you choose accommodation for a culture-focused stay, Tavarnelle thus offers several distinct themes for days of shared discovery.
