Places to see in ( Livorno - Italy ) Cathedral of Livorno
Livorno’s original cathedral (or Duomo), in Piazza Grande, was designed by Alessandro Pieroni and built by Cantagallina. It was completed in 1606, dedicated to St Francis of Assisi. Sadly, the original building was completely destroyed by bombings in 1943. The modern-day reconstruction was completed in 1952 and is a reproduction of the original.
The interior contains Fra Angelico's 15th century painting of Christ Crowned with Thorns, as well as some interesting early 17th-century paintings by a number of well-known Tuscan artists: the Triumph of Saint Giulia by Jacopo Ligozzi; the Assumption of the Virgin by Domenico Cresti da Passignano, and Saint Francis of Assisi by Jacopo Chimenti da Empoli.
The cathedral originally had six bells which were cast in Prato in 1823. After the war only five of these were found, all of them badly damaged, so they were melted down and re-cast, together with another old bell, to make six new ones.

Travel to Livorno Italy Tuscany Europe - the main sights in Livorno!
Livorno is a port city on the Ligurian Sea on the western coast of Tuscany, Italy. It is the capital of the Province of Livorno, having a population of approximately 161,000 residents in 2011.
ivorno was founded in 1017 as one of small fortresses along the coast which were protecting Pisa. It belonged to the city of Pisa for several hundred years. However, the port serving Pisa was not Livorno but Porto Pisano, destroyed after the hard defeat of the Pisan fleet in the Battle of Meloria. Between 1404 and 1421, Livorno belonged to Genoa, and on August 28, 1421 it was sold to Florence. Between 1427 and 1429, the census was held. According to the results of the census, there were 118 families in Livorno, which made 423 persons. Monks, Jews, military, and homeless were not included in the census. The only remainder of the Medieval Livorno is a fragment of two towers and a wall, located inside the Old Fort.

LIVORNO - Italy Travel Guide | Around The World
Livorno is a port on the coast of Tuscany in central Italy, on the Tyrrhenian Sea. Though not generally seen as holiday destination, Livorno has many travellers passing through or spending a few hours in town as it features on cruise itineraries and is the departure point for ferries to the islands of Corsica, Elba and Capraia. Although overshadowed by nearby attractions such as Pisa and Florence, Livorno is a pleasant enough place to spend a short time and it is a practical base if you have an early or late ferry. The port's English name, dating back to a time of merchant ships and Grand Tourists, is Leghorn.
Livorno doesn't have the long history or quaint medieval centre of a typical Tuscan town. This is because it was purpose-built as a port in the 16th century, designed as an ideal mercantile modern city. Its harbours, fortresses and waterways are testament to the functional planning of the town, while a variety of churches record the presence of merchants from many countries. Nowadays Livorno is a busy city with, in places, a vaguely down-at-heel air, but a bit of exploring soon reveals the town's more interesting sights.
As Livorno is not a particularly obvious venue for sightseeing, a good first stop is the tourist information office on Via Pieroni, between Piazza Grande and Piazza del Municipio (housed in a building like a small shopping mall). Here you can obtain a map, timetables for boat trips and additional information about local attractions.
The most interesting part of Livorno to explore is the 17th-century New Venice district, the Quartiere Venezia, or Venezia Nuova. Surrounded by canals, this was a rather grandiose conception where merchants' houses and warehouses were built with water access. Nowadays there are a few interesting shops, restaurants and bars in this area, where plenty of locals still keep their boats moored. Some of the town's grander architecture can be seen along Via Borra, which runs through the heart of this unusual district. A festival called Effetto Venezia takes place here each summer.
The Scottish writer Tobias Smollett died in Livorno in 1771 and is buried in the town's historic Protestant cemetery. This is usually only open by special arrangement, but you can peer through the gate or over the wall to see the clutter of stone monuments filling the leafy graveyard. Smollett's Journeys Through France and Italy (available on the Project Gutenberg website) is a very entertaining read and full of tales of villainous innkeepers. The cemetery (Cimitero Inglese) is alongside Via Verdi, with its gateway on a side-street, almost opposite the junction with Via Adua.
Other sights include the 'old' and 'new' brick fortresses, both dating to the 16th century and encircled by water - the walls of the Fortezza Nuova now enclose a park, closed in recent years. The town's cathedral was rebuilt after Second World War bombing; inside is a painting by Fra Angelico, displayed in the Cappella del Santissimo Sacramento. Other historic churches are scattered around the town. Livorno has a city art gallery, the Museo Civico Giovanni Fattori, housed in 19th-century Villa Mimbelli, and also an aquarium. If you are spending time in Livorno, it may be worth purchasing the Livorno Card which includes local transport and museum admission; details can be found on the council website.
A boat trip around Livorno's canals (fossi) is an entertaining way to see the town; tours run several times a day and some include extra attractions such as a visit to the market. Sights along the canals include the market and churches including the lovely but crumbling Dutch-German church, the Chiesa degli Olandesi (near Piazza Cavour).
Via Grande, a street lined with modern arcades, cuts through the centre of Livorno, from Piazza della Repubblica to the Porto Mediceo, and is a useful place for a spot of high-street shopping. Bus number 1 from the station follows this route. The wide Piazza della Repubblica has views across the canal to the Fortezza Nuova, and is a majestic open space. After touring the centre of Livorno, visitors can enjoy a walk along the seafront to the south of the town centre, beyond the port district, where the seafront road passes parks, bathing establishments and little harbours.
Livorno has a choice of cheap and moderate restaurants where you can eat seafood and traditional Tuscan cuisine. The canal area is a good place to start - options include the informal Sugo at Via Borra 51. Livorno has a large purpose-built covered food market, open Monday-Saturday mornings, where you can find local produce. The grand 19th-century market building stands alongside a canal and is a picturesque as well as lively sight. Specialities to try in Livorno include ponce, a drink composed of coffee and rum, and cacciucco, a hearty local seafood stew.

Places to see in ( Livorno - Italy ) Monumento dei Quattro Mori
The Monument of the Four Moors is located in Livorno, Italy. It was completed in 1626 to commemorate the victories of Ferdinand I of Tuscany over the Ottomans. It is the most famous monument of Livorno and is located in Piazza Micheli.
Created by Pietro Tacca, the monument took its name from the four bronze statues of Moorish slaves that are found at the base of an earlier work consisting of the statue of Ferdinando I and its monumental pedestal.
In 1617, Cosimo II contracted sculptor Pietro Tacca to create the monument to commemorate his father, Ferdinando I. The completed monument was installed in Livorno in 1626. It features four bronze statues of enslaved prisoners chained at the base of a statue of Ferdinando I which had been commissioned at an earlier date. The physical characteristics of three of the statues represent people of the southern Mediterranean coast while the fourth statue has characteristics of a black African.
The monument of the four Moors influenced sculptural design for several decades. A fountain in Marino features four statues of similarly chained prisoners, two of whom possess black African characteristics. The structure was constructed between 1632–1642 to commemorate Marcantonio Colonna's participation in the battle of Lepanto in 1571 which led to the defeat of the Ottomans.

Places to see in ( Livorno - Italy ) Chiesa dei Greci Uniti
The church of Santissima Annunziata is located in Livorno , in via della Madonna , a few meters from the temple of San Gregorio and the church of Madonna. It is also known as the Church of the United Greeks , because it was the place of worship of the Byzantine rite of the Eastern community in communion with the Pope. The Orthodox , non-Catholics, had instead a separate church (the Greek Orthodox Church of the Holy Trinity ) and its own cemetery space (see the Greek-Orthodox Cemetery ).
After the Second World War , when it was sold to a Catholic archconfraternity, it assumed the name of church of the Purification. At the end of the 16th century, many Greeks arrived in Tuscany to serve on the ships of the Order of Santo Stefano dei Cavalieri. Initially this community gathered at the small oratory of San Jacopo in Acquaviva , outside the fortified city. Subsequently, in 1601 , the construction of a national church was started in via della Madonna and the works were completed in March 1606 ; the project is due to Alessandro Pieroni , a very active architect in Livorno medicea .
A century later, the elegant façade was erected, perhaps designed by Giovanni Baratta or Giovan Battista Foggini with the sculptural contribution of Andrea Vaccà , while a small bell tower was built next to the church. Around the mid- eighteenth century the ceiling was enriched by a coffered structure, with a painting in the center of the Annunciation by Giovanni Domenico Ferretti , which hid the previous ornament of exposed beams and trusses . An illustrious papàs ( priest of the Byzantine-Greek rite ) wasDemetrio Camarda ( 19th century ), linguist, historian and Albanian philologist from Piana degli Albanesi , who kept alive the Eastern Christian cult in the city.
The bombings of the Second World War erased most of the church, which was reduced to a pile of rubble from which only the facade and the part of the nave with the bell tower emerged. Restored the façade and rebuilt the body of the church in an aseptic style, in 1951 the church was ceded to the Arciconfraternita della Purificazione which, before the war, had a chapel in the Bagno dei forzati .

scenes from Piazza del Municipio (Town Hall Square) in Livorno, Italy
This brief video gives some sense of the Piazza del Municipio (Town Hall Square) in a regular Italian town not completely given over to tourism. Livorno is the port where cruise ships dock for people visiting Pisa and Florence and Tuscany in general. Livorno isn't a real tourist destination itself. This square is where the free shuttle buses from the cruise ship pier let out tourists venturing into town. The tourist office is located here as well as a police station and the chamber of commerce. The date is November 30, 2018 and we are on a Viking Western Mediterranean Cruise and off to see Pisa later in the day. Came into town to get a geocache.

Places to see in ( Livorno - Italy ) Piazza Della Repubblica
Places to see in ( Livorno - Italy ) Piazza Della Repubblica
The Republic Square is one of the largest (about 18.000 m²) and no doubt one of the most characteristic squares of Livorno. Here some important roads converge, such as via Grande , via Garibaldi, via de Larderel (see the Stradario di Livorno ), which in the nineteenth century constituted the main urban road. It is also a perspective telescope to the Fortezza Nuova and the Venezia Nuova district , with a striking view of the Fosso Reale .
The construction of a square that joined together the fortified town of Buontalenti and the new suburbs, which extended beyond the Fosso Reale , dates back to the first half of the nineteenth century , when Luigi Bettarini and Mario Chietti prepared two distinct projects in this regard.
Both provided for the construction of an imposing vault on the Fosso Reale, with an oval square placed perpendicular to the axis of the then via Ferdinanda (current via Grande ). The two projects differed however in the transversal dimensions that should have taken the square: Bettarini proposed a more collected plant, leaving more areas available for the construction of new buildings, while Chietti carried the limit of the oval almost to the facade of the Cisternino di città , the tank designed by Poccianti in 1827 at the end of the Leopoldine Aqueduct. In addition, a first project by Bettarini, which however had no following, involved the formation of a square bordered by a double row of trees, which referred to the configuration of the area in front of the church of San Benedetto (now Piazza XX Settembre ).
he monument dedicated to the Grand Duke Ferdinando III of Tuscany stands on the south side of the square. Work by Francesco Pozzi , it was inaugurated in 1847 and rests on a high base on which there is a bas-relief by Temistocle Guerrazzi reproducing the grand duke who promotes the construction of the Colognole aqueduct and a bas-relief by Ulysses Cambi depicting Ferdinando who encourages the arts, trade and industry. On the sides of the base there are some epigraphs in memory of the sovereign.
Dedicated to Leopoldo II of Tuscany , son of the aforementioned Ferdinando, the monument was inaugurated in 1855 , replacing, as mentioned, the one created by Paolo Emilio Demi . The new statue, placed on the north side of the square, was sculpted by Emilio Santarelli . On the base there are two bas-reliefs: the first, the work of the same Demi, recalls the land reclamation promoted by the Grand Duke in Maremma, while the second, by Giovanni Puntoni , depicts the sovereign attending the construction of the Curvilinea Dam in the port of Livorno . The commemorative epigraphs on the sides of the base were replaced in 1865 with new inscriptions in memory of theunification of Italy .
