Then, the status of Free Port was given to the city and thanks to this, the city was considered as a thriving international trading center. Livorno today is a modern port city renowned for its industrial activity, both chemical and metallurgical. Its port, along with those of Genoa and Naples, is one of the most important in Italy. Livorno stretches out over the Ligurian Sea across very long beaches of fine sand, and its cuisine reflects this union with the sea.

Its most famous and traditional dishes are seafood dishes such as Caciucco or Triglie alla Livornese. Beyond its port, Livorno is a wonderful city where you can also enjoy typical products such as castagnaccio, chickpea flour cakes or vegetable and legume soups or the typical Panzanella. The relationship with the sea and the marine environment is also found in the Livorno Aquarium, located inside the Terrazza Mascagni.
