A microelectromechanical-mirror device has a fixed structure defining an external frame delimiting a cavity, an internal frame arranged above the cavity and defining a window, and a tiltable structure with a reflective surface and arranged in the window. Elastically coupled to the internal frame by first and second coupling elastic elements. An actuation structure is coupled to the internal frame to cause the rotation of the tiltable structure around first and second axes. The actuation structure has a first pair of driving arms, elastically coupled to the internal frame and carrying piezoelectric material regions to cause rotation of the tiltable structure around the first axis, and a further pair of driving arms carrying piezoelectric material regions to cause rotation of the tiltable structure around the second axis and interposed between the fixed structure and the internal frame, to which they are elastically coupled by first and second suspension elastic elements.
