Gotica Toscana aps
The Gotica Toscana website has been reorganized: a homepage with thematic boxes and horizontal menus guiding visitors through the discovery of the Gothic Line, the MuGot, the historical tours, the events, and the publications.
The Director of the MuGot, Gabriele Lelli, took part in a journey of remembrance to Bastogne for the 81st anniversary of the Battle of the Ardennes. Together with the delegation of Andy Biggio’s The Rifle project and alongside international friends, the group retraced the symbolic places of the siege, from the famous “NUTS!” to the Bois Jacques, visiting the Bastogne War Museum and the American cemeteries of the Ardennes and Luxembourg, enriched by the moving presence of five U.S. veterans.
During work in a bunker on Monticelli, Gotica Toscana discovered a German mess tin engraved with the owner’s name. The object, together with a canteen and cutlery, offers a glimpse into the daily life of German soldiers along the Gothic Line and becomes an opportunity to tell the story of food at the front and the vocabulary of military equipment.
