PISA | 1970 | SANDRO CHIERICHETTI | GUIDA ARTISTICA ILLUSTRATA

This illustrated tourist-art guide by Sandro Chierichetti on the city of Pisa offers a concrete and richly visual presentation of the city’s artistic and architectural heritage. Addressing the urban fabric, monumental landmarks such as the Leaning Tower and cathedral complex, and the context of the city’s medieval and renaissance development, it blends non-fiction heritage commentary with an accessible guide format. Typically part of the “Guide Moneta” series, this version (circa 1970) acts as a snapshot of Pisa’s presentation to visitors at that time, capturing both the historical-artistic narrative and the evolving tourist orientation. Its strengths lie in its compact format, illustrated content (including photographs or plates), and its utility both for informed travellers and for scholars interested in historical tourism guides as artefacts of their era.
