Starting 10 kilometres south of the mouth of the Arno, the municipal territory extends for 104,78 square kilometres on the low but rocky Tyrrhenian coast opposite the rocks of Meloria. Comprising a narrow stretch of plain, the rise of the Livorno and Montenero mountains and the island of Gorgona. Capital of the captaincy, it became autonomous community in 1780 assuming the borders of the original nucleus of the old captaincy.

Livorno is the largest port in Tuscany and one of the most important in the Mediterranean. It consists of two complexes, the Porto Vecchio and the Porto Nuovo (Porto Industriale). However, the most interesting part of the city from an artistic point of view is the historic city centre. The Fortezza Vecchia is today the most important monument in the city, and includes the 9th century Torre Matilde and the 14th century Quadratura dei Pisani.

Built on the orders of Ferdinand II, the neighbourhood of Venezia Nuova is laced with canals similar to those found in Venice. Following the course of the Fosso Reale, you come to the synagogue and the Museo Ebraico.

The city's urban layout was reorganised under the Austrian Grand Dukes. Walking along the beautiful Passegiata (grand boulevard) you come to the Terrazza Mascagni, and then from the Bagni Scoglio to the Bagni Pancaldi-Acquaviva. It's worth seeing the new site of the Museo Giovanni Fattori at Villa Milibelli, which was built in 1865 by the wealthy merchant Francesco Milibelli. Also worth a visit is the tasteful Mercato delle Vettovaglie, which was built in 1894 by the architect Badaloni.

The most significant gastronomic speciality of Livorno is cacciucco, a word of Balkan origins which means 'mix'. This extremely tasty dish contains a wide variety of fish, and although it's a 'poor man's dish', it is very imaginative and strong-tasting. It's one of the most well-known of all Tuscan dishes.
