Art, travel and culture

A land rich in art and history, the birthplace of musicians like Mascagni and painters like Modigliani and where, with Fattori, who was also born in Livorno, and has established the Macchiaioli school. Permanent collections and painting exhibitions of international importance recall and make present this important heritage. Cultural institutions rooted in the territory such as CEL, Armunia and P. Mascagni Musical Institute play an important role as a cultural promoter.

History lives in the medieval villages like Bolgheri, Populonia, Castagneto Carducci, Bibbona, Suvereto, Campiglia Marittima, real jewels that arise in the green hills and the woods a few steps from the sea.

Livorno designed by the Medici in 1500 as “ideal city” conserves evocative reminders of its past, such as the historic district of Venice, the Fortresses, the waterways that surround the city center. City of strong cosmopolitan traditions where visitors can see places of worship of various faiths.

Near to the other provincial capitals, rich in history and tradition, above Florence. But there is also Pisa and the beautiful Lucca, Siena, San Gimignano and Volterra.
