The Amedeo Lia Civic Museum is located in the city center of La Spezia. The Museum was born in 1996 to preserve and enhance the works donated by the well-known collector Amedeo Lia, to whom the Museum has been dedicated. The Museum is located inside an ancient convent complex of the friars of San Francesco di Paola. The collection is very rich and consists of archaeological finds and paintings, sculptures from the thirteenth to the eighteenth century and a small section of objects in ivory, Limousin enamels, crosses and crucifixes and ancient jewels. The archaeological finds from the Roman era are remains found in the surrounding areas; of great value is the yellow limestone head from the 5th century BC. The most important nucleus is made up of the fifteenth-century and Renaissance works of famous artists, including: Pietro Lorenzetti, Bernardo Daddi, Vincenzo Foppa, Pontormo, Tiziano and Gentile Bellini. A room of the itinerary is entirely dedicated to the Caravaggeschi, that is the artists who followed Caravaggio, and to the Venetians, such as: Canaletto, Michele Marieschi, Francesco Guardi, Bernardo Bellotto and Elisabetta Marchioni. The museum itinerary concludes with the collection with majolica, corals, rock crystals, terracotta and paintings with still lifes.
