Museo Gotica "MuGot"

The Centre for Historical Research and Documentation called “Gotica Toscana” was created in 2011 to preserve the memory of the Second World War in Tuscany, with particular attention to the events in September 1944 when the Apennines north of Florence were a focal point. The centre focuses especially on the area between the Futa Pass and the Giogo Pass, one of the places most affected by the violent attacks along the Gothic Line, the last fortified defense line prepared by the German army in Italy.

From January 2019, the permanent installations and temporary thematic exhibitions of the CDRS became the MuGot, Gothic Museum. MuGot provides visitors, scholars and schoolchildren with numerous texts, documents and written and filmed testimonies relating to the period of interest. It also organizes excursions to the battlefield upon request for a detailed explanation of the events and a visit to the original locations.

The installations inside present the result of findings on the ground and the material collected over the years by the members or donated by the local population. These allow interested parties to familiarize themselves with the men, uniforms and materials that were the protagonists of that last, often forgotten, phase of the Italian Campaign.
