Overview
In Pieve Santo Stefano, an Arezzo village in the upper Tiber valley, this small museum quite literally puts diaries in the piazza. The diaries of the scores of Josephs and Marys, Francis and Alexandra who travelled through the history of Italy. The museum took shape from the diary archive of Pieve Santo Stefano, housed in the rooms of the Palazzo Pretorio. Created by journalist Saverio Tutino and developed thanks to a large number of volunteers who had a belief in the power of words and the importance of memory, for years it was an archive like any other historical archive. Since 2012, the museum has been a place where the written word and the voice are at the centre of a multimedia project for an intimate yet collective narrative.
