Coreglia on video: plaster figurines, emigration and a rescued watermill

A museum introduction to Coreglia’s plaster-figure tradition is paired with a two-part NoiTV report on the Pezzo dei Preti watermill and its mountain setting.

LUCCA Curiosa’s brief feature introduces Coreglia Antelminelli through its Civic Museum of Plaster Figurines and Emigration. That focus gets at the most distinctive thread in the village’s cultural history: local craft workers made plaster figures and many traveled abroad to sell them. The municipal and provincial museum sources explain the larger collection and its migration documents; the short video works as a visual invitation to that subject, rather than as a full historical account. It was published on 24 December 2025. Confirm the museum’s current opening before making the video a reason for a specific trip.

The first part of NoiTV’s “I Colori del Serchio” report follows Leonello Mazzotti to the old mill at Pezzo dei Preti, in the Coreglia area. The episode is a local portrait of a water-powered structure and the surrounding wooded landscape, with the owner guiding the filming. Its value lies in recording a place-based account and views of the area; the newspaper describes the mill as apparently intact and potentially functioning, a claim that should be understood as the report’s description, not as an independently certified visitor facility. This is one half of a two-part programme; the segment’s upload date was not reliably established and is left unspecified.

The second part continues the same NoiTV visit to the Pezzo dei Preti mill and its landscape. Read together, the two segments offer a longer, more personal look than a short village montage: the owner’s recollections, woodland, water and the old mill are presented as parts of a local memory. The published report also includes imaginative reflections about folk tales; these are the speaker’s associations, not evidence that the Grimm brothers drew stories from this place. The video is best treated as a community feature, not an archaeological or engineering survey. No original upload date is assigned because the available record did not verify one.
