Amedeo Lia Civic Museum : info and guided tour

Introduction to Museo Civico Amedeo Lia

The Museo Civico Amedeo Lia is an art museum located in La Spezia, on Via del Prione, in the heart of the historic center. Housed in a converted former convent, it features an important collection assembled by Amedeo Lia, an enthusiastic amateur and collector, and later donated to the city. The site thus combines architectural heritage with a private perspective on the history of art.

The itinerary brings together works from different periods, with a notable place for early Italian painting, sculptures, and works of art. The museum is appreciated for the quality and diversity of its pieces, which make it possible to follow the evolution of styles from the Middle Ages to the modern era. The whole offers a rich panorama in a museum setting on a human scale.

Among the most remarkable items are paintings by Italian masters, miniatures, icons, and decorative arts, which reflect the collector’s taste for refined, well-preserved works. The museum galleries highlight formats, techniques, and materials, making the visit particularly attentive to details and textures.
