The new visitor's Centre of Castelmartini
The new Visitor Center of the Fucecchio Marshes Nature Reserve "Baronessa Irene Alfano Montecuccoli" in Castelmartini is the main point of reference for the use of the protected area and hosts the Laboratory for Environmental Education in the Fucecchio Marshes.
It is a large wooden structure of about 400 square meters, well inserted in the environment and surrounded by an open space of 3,500 square meters, built with particularly innovative techniques and all the measures required by green building to optimize energy efficiency, quality and the eco-sustainability of the building.
Inside a large room there are materials related to the historical and naturalistic aspects and to the local traditions of the Fucecchio Marshes; the traditional boats, the "castle" for the breeding of silkworms, the nets, tools and artifacts made with marsh grass, the model of the Ponte di Cappiano and that of the ancient Porto de Le Morette, shapes of fish and water birds.
The Visitor Center also has two large classrooms equipped with various teaching aids including binocular and biological microscopes (with video connection), an exhibition of collected "natural objects" and products made with marsh grasses. In the Laboratory there is also a well-stocked thematic library on wetlands, while outside there is a green space with spontaneous shrubs of Montalbano and tanks for aquatic plants.
The Visitor Center also hosts temporary exhibitions (photography, naturalistic design, etc.) and, inside the bookshop room, the permanent exhibition of the preparatory works of the monument in memory of the fallen of the Massacre of 23 August 1944, made by the sculptor Gino Terreni, donated to the Municipality of Larciano .
