Italy’s third-largest seaport, Livorno serves as our gateway to the cities of Florence and Pisa. Livorno conducts a brisk trade in marble and alabaster, as well as artistic products from Florence. The jetty and harbor were rebuilt by Cosimo di Medici in 1571 to replace the port of Pisa, which had become choked with silt. We can still see the old 16th-century fortress and a ring of walls with bastions.
