livorno travel guide

The sea flows through the Medicean canals right into the old quarters of the city, giving Livorno the unique charm of a piece of Tuscany reaching into the sea. Its history, traditions and culture, the flaming sunsets and limpid, scented air, sea sports and gastronomic traditions all speak of Livornoís link with the sea. Europeís first bathing establishments were built here in the nineteenth century when the idea of seaside holidays first became popular. The Natural History Museum and the Aquarium contain many precious treasures recovered from the sea. Livorno is home to the prestigious Naval Academy where Italian Navy officers have been trained for over a century, and which hosts an annual Sailing Trophy with participants from all over the world. Ancient seagoing traditions are also kept alive by rowing races held between the cityís various quarters, both in the sea and on the canals.
