The exhibit’s piece de resistance is Granduke Pietro Leopoldo’s document abolishing the death penalty, the first sovereign in the world to do so. This profound justice system reform brought Tuscany to the forefront of modern political, institutional, economic and cultural life. For more information, see www.pisaeilorena.it
