    Museo straordinario, ben organizzato e ben strutturato sia all'esterno sia all'interno. Gratuito e aperto dalle ore 9 alle 17 nei giorni della settimana; sabato e la domenica su prenotazione. Inaugurato nel 2002 è un museo ricco di cimeli, armi, uniformi dalle guerre fino ai giorni d'oggi; Sono rimasto affascinato dai numerosi dettagli che il personale ha potuto raccogliere e metterlo in esposizione nel corso degli anni. Ci sono anche sale multimediali che spiegano la storia e varie mappe raffiguranti vari episodi di battaglie. Dimostrazioni pratiche con manichini di trincee e punti di raccolta feriti hanno catturato molto la mia attenzione

    (Translated by Google) Saturday morning 21 August I went to see the Aviotruppe Museum and I must say that it is a beautiful museum. It consists of about fifteen rooms that span a century of military history linked to parachuting, from the dawn to the present day. There are exposed, outside, some artillery pieces and an M113. He is excellently cared for by exceptional military personnel. I recommend to all those who are in Pisa to visit it because they will certainly come out more enriched with knowledge. A heartfelt thanks for the work done by the curators. (Original) Sabato mattina 21 agosto sono andato a vedere il Museo Aviotruppe e devo dire che è una bellissima realtà museale. È composto da circa quindici sale che abbracciano un secolo di storia militare legata al paracadutismo, dagli albori fino ai giorni nostri. Ci sono esposti, all'esterno, alcuni pezzi di artiglieria e un M113. È curato in maniera egregia da personale militare eccezionale. Consiglio a tutti coloro che si trovano a Pisa a visitarlo perché ne usciranno sicuramente più arricchiti di conoscenza. Un grazie di cuore per il lavoro svolto dai curatori.

    Small museum manned by paratroopers in training. Interesting texts and pictures, as well as an impressive collection of small arms, vehicles and a few guns. Unfortunately, most information is only in Italian, so it's a great advantage to have knowledge of the language. Staff very friendly, and sacrificed his lunch break so we could make our visit happen as we couldn't return after Siesta. Free entry, but I would encourage donations.

    Un viaggio nella storia del paracadutismo militare italiano, che si trova a Pisa, all'interno della Caserma 'Gamerra', sede del Centro Addestramento Paracadutismo. all'interessamento della Brigata Folgore. Ci sono varie stanze dedicate, disposte in ordine cronologico dal 1918 ad oggi .. un museo veramente interessante, sicuramente per chi c'è stato come soldato 😊 se siete a Pisa andate a visitarlo.

    My wife & I Visited the Museum on 30th May. We got a very cordial welcome and were shown all the exhibits (including the helicopter). The displays were all original and authentic. I would highly recommend a visit. Entry is free and you can leave a well earned donation as you leave. The officer in charge was very courteous and extremely helpful in explaining the background to the museum.

  • 5/5 Lamberto C. 1 year ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) It was a great thrill to put my foot back on Piazzale El Alamein: seeing those guys made me go back to the enthusiasm and lightheartedness of my twenties. So many good memories and so much emotion ... A hug and a warm greeting to the friends of the Studies and Experiences Office Eros Furiani, Nicola Attadio, Sergio Carnelli, and the Great General Cesare Ferri, then a young Major. Parà Lamberto Cappellato (Original) È stata una grande emozione rimettere il piede sul Piazzale El Alamein : vedere quei ragazzi mi ha fatto tornare con la mente all'entusiasmo e alla spensieratezza dei vent'anni . Tanti bei ricordi e tanta commozione ... Un abbraccio e un caloroso saluto agli amici dell'Ufficio Studi ed Esperienze Eros Furiani, Nicola Attadio, Sergio Carnelli, e al Grande Generale Cesare Ferri, allora giovane Maggiore.

    A really cool museum full of nice memorabilia , for example the Italian folgore unit also participated in the liberation of Europe from the Nazis and although this story is unknown , in the museum you can get to know the history of the herring operation . Many thumbs up to the guide Pietro who happens to be a wonderful person !

    Very good museum. Good display with English translations on most. Small arms displayed from various armies. Pictures, uniforms, equipment and artefacts well presented. Museum has obvious pride in their military pedigree and 100+ year history. Gives different perspective than the usual Allied WWII view of Italian Division's abilities. Spend 1.5 hours or more here. Entry is free but you can leave a donation.

    An amazing hidden jem! Worth visiting. Entrance is free, hosts are friendly, if you are lucky you can visit in the sound of music played by the military band in the barracks nearby. A wonderful experience.

    GREAT MUSEUM! Covers military artifacts from the 1900’s to today. I recommend it. Count 1.5 hours visit. 1 hour if you rush. A must if you have a passion for the airborne community. Great unique pieces like the airdropped motorbike with mini machine gunner trailer; only 20 in the entire world!

  • 5/5 Il Dio Degli O. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) INCREDIBLE A plunge into history told by really prepared people. A museum where to find and see artifacts actually used in the various eras described. A truly exciting experience that departs completely from any war museum that you may have ever seen. Experience absolutely to be done, other words I don't have. (Original) INCREDIBILE Un tuffo nella storia raccontato da persone davvero preparate. Un museo dove trovare e vedere reperti usati realmente nelle varie epoche descritte. Un'esperienza davvero emozionante che si discosta completamente da un qualsiasi museo bellico che possiate avere mai visto. Esperienza assolutamente da fare, altre parole non ho.

    Incredible place! It isn't big but its very special. The amount of things that are touchable is so big. There's armoured vehicles, helicopters and a lot of firearms. There's also a lot of interesting history regarding the italian aviation troops. It starts from the first world war right to today. If you're interested in History, Military vehicles and firearms, this is the place for you.

👍👍 The entrance is worth the experience if you have an hour or so to walk the whole wall.
