    Eretto tra il 1594 e il 1606 su progetto di Alessandro Pieroni, fu completato nel '700 con l'aggiunta delle cappelle e devastato nel 1943. La facciata, preceduta da un portico, č sormontata da una terrazza. All'interno, nella sola navata centrale le tele sul soffitto sono di Jacopo Ligozzi, dell'Empoli e del Passignano.

    The hearth of the ancient town is the Duomo. Bernardo Buontalenti planned it at the centre of the pentagonof walls that surrounded the Leghorn of Renaissance times.

    The best period to come to Livorno is during "Venice Effect", a holiday that takes place the first week of august: the historical centre, built on islands and full of canals, becomes a great tehatrical, musical, ethnical performing scene, and all the streets are full of stalls, little restaurants, lights and atmosphere.

    When I'm away I miss the incredible sunsets on the sea, full of orange, red and pink.

  • Was arrival. This was the port of entry for most of the places last visited in February 1997. Didn't see much of the town as we went to Florence quickly. The story of that week is being created in the 1997 travelogue on my Florence page.
