Writing workshop at the Little Diary Museum in Pieve Santo Stefano

The experience

Nestled in the green hills of Tuscany, the Small Diary Museum located in Pieve Santo Stefano, in the province of Arezzo, is a hidden treasure that invites you on an intimate journey into the past to discover many personal stories.

If you need authentic connections to your roots and want an experience that touches on the personal and the concrete, this museum is the place to be.

It was founded to provide space for thousands of autobiographical texts, diaries, epistolaries and private writings from the National Diary Archive. It contains more than 7300 memoirs of Italians and provides a dive into the lives of many people of the past through direct and personal accounts.

The activity we propose is about the writing workshop and takes place within the Little Diary Museum. Through this workshop you will learn the best techniques for putting your memories on paper, recalling your family history and connections to places of origin. You can write your own memories on the museum’s pages, leaving a piece of personal memory in this special place that continues to grow with each visit.
