Museum in a castle overlooking the village of Pontremoli, Lunigiana, Italy. About 16 Lunigiana type Statue Menhir / stelae were found near the village of Zignago, starting in 1867, some abandoned near Taponecco, under the basement of the Sorano church and in the woods and mountains near Pontevecchio and Filetto.

Also two more were found underwater in the Gulf of La Spezia, which are now lost.

Six of these stelea are now shown in the La Spezia Ethnographic and Civic Museum and eight in the Pontremoli Museum. Reproductions of some, (including the 2 lost statue menhir made from old drawings at Pontremoli), are located in both museums.
