The city of Livorno, that traditionally is called Leghorn in English, is a port city on the Ligurian Sea on the western edge of the beautiful region of Tuscany in central Italy. It is the capital of the Province of Livorno, and has a population of approx. 160,000 residents in 2009. It is the third-largest port on the western coast of Italy.
Tuscany - The Tuscan sea is a sea to fall in love with. If you are picturing long kilometres of beach, between relaxation and high society, you are imagining being immersed in the sweet life of the Versilia, framed by the Apuan mountains. Sea, beaches and pinewoods triumph with the San Rossore Natural Park. But perhaps the inlets of the Etruscan Coast are more likely to turn on your imagination. Or the wild vegetation and blue waters of the islands of the Tuscan archipelago. Or the Argentario, where the untouched green of the Maremma fades into the crystal blue of the water. Ancient sites for a dive into Etruscan history or exclusive moorings in the fashionable ports.
The Tuaca liqueur is produced in Livorno, as is the very tasty liquer Galliano, used for the famous drink called "Hotshot" with coffie, galleano and whipped creme.
The city also has a substantial petrochemical industry. The port is the focus of a substantial tourism industry in which thousands of cruise-ship passengers are transported by fleets of buses to inland destinations, notably to Florence. However, since the beginning of XX century Livorno has been more famous for the Orlando Shipyard, where most famously in 1911 the battleship "Georgios Averof" , the flagship of the Greek Navy during its victorious battles against Turks in the Balkan Wars and World War One was built.
Livorno also has a very good position for all of you who travel by train or airplane.
The nearest airport is the main airport of Tuscany, Galileo Galilei Airport, which is about twenty kilometers away.
The city is served by Livorno Centrale station.
Some of the mainsights are the Museo Mascagnano houses memorabilia, documents and operas by the great composer Pietro Mascagni. Every year some of his operas are traditionally played during the lyric music season, which is organised by the Traditional Theatre of Livorno. Also the “Terrazza Mascagni”, a walkway divided from the sea by a handrail, is named in honor to Pietro Mascagni.
Up in the hills the Sanctuary of Montenero, which is dedicated to Our Lady of the Graces, the patron saint of Tuscany, is a fixed destination for pilgrims. It is famous for the adjacent gallery, decorated with ex-voti mainly connected to stories of miraculous sea rescue.
Another important monument is an old red-brick fortress which, in Medici times, defended the city from attack by pirates. Its three bastions are named “Capitana”, “Ampolletta” and “Canaviglia”. The original fortress was built before the Renaissance. A later one was constructed at the end of the 16th century.
