Founded by the Medici family as a free port, Livorno evolved over time as a commercial and cultural hub , becoming one of the most important ports in the Mediterranean. Strolling through historic neighborhoods like Venezia Nuova (New Venice) is like experiencing a cosmopolitan spirit, a blend of influences, maritime trade, and religious freedom.
