A microelectromechanical mirror structure includes a mobile mass movable around a first rotation axis, with a first resonant scanning mode at a lower resonance frequency, and around a second rotation axis, with a second resonant scanning mode at a higher resonance frequency greater than the lower resonance frequency. The structure includes a first frame surrounding and elastically coupled to the mobile mass by a first and a second torsional elastic elements aligned along the second rotation axis. The structure includes a second frame extending externally to the first frame and elastically coupled to the first frame by a third and a fourth torsional elastic elements aligned along the first scanning axis. First piezoelectric actuators are on the second frame operable to actuate the first resonant scanning mode and an actuation structure external to the second frame and carrying second piezoelectric actuators, operable to actuate the second resonant scanning mode.
