In 2009 the port recorded a decline of 21,3 % of traffic due to the global recession. 3 4 Physiografic unit LIVORNO 60 km The Port lies in the southern end of an arched sandy beach long about 60 km (physiografic unit). The most important MAGRA SERCHIOSERCHIO rivers in the p.u. are: - Magra; - Serchio; - and Arno River ARNO LIVORNO 5 Like most of the Italian ports, the port of Livorno has a long and complex history. 6 The origins of the port are inextricably linked to the history of Pisa and its port. PISA LIVORNO 7 Pisa is a town of Etruscan origin. Pisa in the past has always needed a port. Pisa in the Middle Ages PISA was one of the four Italian Maritime Republics (“Repubblica Marinara”). LIVORNO 8 Over the past two millennia, the coastline is gradually advanced. Pisa Configuration of the coast in the Era of Roman Rule Livorno 9 Over the past two millennia, the coastline is gradually advanced.

This is the situation of Livorno in the middle of the XIX century when the Curvilinear Breakwater, designed by the French Victor Poirel, was completed. CURVILINEAR BREAKWATER DESIGNED BY THE FRENCH VICTOR POIREL 22 The Port of Livorno in 1851. The Unit of Italy was proclaimed in 1861 and the new State completed the Straight Breakwater in 1866. Initially the Unification of Italy represented a negative factor for the Port of Livorno. STRAIGHT BREAKWATER 23 The Italian government was asked to expand the port in order to compensate for the loss of the ancient privileges.

The goal is of receiving Post- Panamax up to 10.000÷12.000 TEU capacity. To expand the traffic with ferries, ro-ro and ro-pax (the ferries maximum sizes in Mediterranean Sea have stabilized in the length of 220 m, in the width of 30 m and in the draught of 7.5 m). The most pressing request concerns the minimization of the transit time in the port. To move the tanker ships in a position placed the farthest possible from the town. To prevent the direct entry of the “Navicelli Canal” in the “Tuscany Dock”. To concentrate cruise ship traffic in the vicinity of the town. To rationalize functions and port activities. 36 Port entrance of the commercial Port (-17.0) Port entrance of historical port . 2010 Port Plan Plan Port 2010 37 Breakwaters . 2010 Port Plan Plan Port 2010 38 Material to dig about 10x10 6 m3 . 2010 Port Plan Plan Port 2010 39 2010 Port Plan Plan Port 2010 Two terminals 40 .

It may be noted that the Port is, respect to Genoa, closer to Brenner and thus to much of the central and southern. Europe. Furthermore, the development of the port involves areas far from the town and close to a wide plain. 48 TANKS FOR YOUR ATTENTION . 49.

  • La Leggenda Del Ponte Del Diavolo Di Borgo a Mozzano
    LA LEGGENDA DEL PONTE DEL DIAVOLO DI BORGO A MOZZANO Il Ponte del Diavolo si trova in Garfagnana, nella provincia di Lucca, e collega le due sponde del fiume Serchio. Il vero fascino di questa particolare opera architettonica risiede però nei segreti che la circondano e nelle misteriose storie che vedono il ponte protagonista. Il Ponte del Diavolo a Borgo a Mozzano Il Ponte della Maddalena, meglio conosciuto con il nome di “Ponte del Diavolo“, è un’imponente costruzione medievale che unisce le due sponde del fiume Serchio in prossimità di Borgo a Mozzano (Luc- TuscanyPeople.com - People and Stories from #Tuscany 1 ca). Eretto nel XIV secolo per iniziativa della contessa Matilde di Canossa, trae la sua denominazione da un’edicoletta votiva dedicata alla Maddalena (oggi scomparsa) intorno alla quale nel XVI secolo fu edificato il vicino “Oratorio della Maddalena”. Le dimensioni colossali e la precarietà strutturale hanno più volte messo in pericolo l’integrità di questo ponte richiedendo, nel corso dei secoli, continui interventi di restauro e dando vita ad una ricca fioritura di leggende. La più famosa di esse ha fruttato al monumento l’appellativo popolare di “Ponte del Diavolo“. La leggenda del ponte del Diavolo e l’architetto Secondo questa leggenda, infatti, ai tempi della costruzione del ponte, il capo delle maestranze incaricate di eseguire i lavori decise di accettare l’aiuto di Satana per poter portare a termine il suo compito. L’uomo, infatti, non era riuscito a rispettare i tempi richiesti e sapeva con certezza che non avrebbe ultimato il ponte per la data prefissata.

That other bridge had been washed away in a flood. The Ponte Vecchio is easy to recognize. That's because of the shops built on it. These shops are on both sides of the bridge.

  • The Tiny Riverside Hamlet of Borgo a Mozzano, Its Devil's Bridge and Halloween Celebration
    2 APRIL 2015 CATERINA POMINI 6202 THE TINY RIVERSIDE HAMLET OF BORGO A MOZZANO, ITS DEVIL'S BRIDGE AND HALLOWEEN CELEBRATION Very well known for its fascinating medieval stone bridge and Halloween celebration, the village of Borgo a Mozzano is located about half an hour from Lucca and represents a nice stop on the way to the Garfagnana, the Lunigiana and the Tuscan-Emilian Apennines. Is its bridge truly a diabolic construction as legend has it? Situated between the Garfagnana and the Lucchesia - approximately half an hour's drive from Lucca - is the tiny riverside village of Borgo a Mozzano, very well known for its fascinating stone bridge, which resembles the back of a donkey. Also known as Ponte della Maddalena (Mary Magdalene's Bridge), the Devil's Bridge of Borgo a Mozzano climbs steeply up and over the Serchio River and since it seems to challenge the force of gravity, it falls into the Devil's Bridge category, which contains dozens of European and non-European bridges. Most of these bridges were constructed in the Middle Ages and were considered beyond human capabilities of mortal engineering of time. For this reason, each of them has a corresponding Devil-related myth. A little bit of history Probably built in the 11th-12th centuries under Matilda of Canossa, this four-arch asymmetric bridge was a vital river crossing on the Via Francigena, a popular medieval pilgrimage route. Renovated in 1300 under Castruccio Castracani, it was mentioned in a 14th-century novella (short story) by Giovanni Sercambi and later named Ponte della Maddalena after an oratory devoted to Mary Magdalene, whose statue stood at the bridge's eastern entrance.

Raffa: Dante's Political Life Bibliotheca Dantesca, 3 (2020): 1-25 DANTE’S POLITICAL LIFE GUY P. RAFFA, The University of Texas at Austin The approach of the seven-hundredth anniversary of Dante’s death is a propi- tious time to recall the events that drove him from his native Florence and marked his life in various Italian cities before he found his final refuge in Ra- venna, where he died and was buried in 1321. Drawing on early chronicles and biographies, modern historical research and biographical criticism, and the poet’s own writings, I construct this narrative of “Dante’s Political Life” for the milestone commemoration of his death. The poet’s politically-motivated exile, this biographical essay shows, was destined to become one of the world’s most fortunate misfortunes. Keywords: Dante, Exile, Florence, Biography The proliferation of biographical and historical scholarship on Dante in recent years, after a relative paucity of such work through much of the twentieth century, prompted a welcome cluster of re- flections on this critical genre in a recent volume of Dante Studies.
