Atchugarry discovered marble as a thoroughly fascinating material, sculpting his first piece in Carrara, La Lumière. He settled in Lecco, Italy when he received the commission for his first large sculpture, a Pietà, which is now the property of the city's Basilica of San Nicolò. The Pablo Atchugarry Museum was inaugurated in Lecco, in September 1999, where visitors can admire the artist's creations and observe him at work in his workshop next door to the Museum.  To RSVP for this event, click here: LINK
