Livorno have a passionate and sometimes unruly following. Football's history in Livorno goes back to 1904, when the game was introduced to the town by the son of the British viceconsul, who is said to have learned the rules by watching British sailors play on the docks. The club has had a rollercoaster ride through the years: from triumphs to disasters. In 2004 Livorno returned to Serie A after half a century.

Livorno Travel and Tourism

Known historically to its English-speaking visitors as Leghorn, Livorno is a port on the Tuscan coastline, with good connections to islands, beaches and art cities. The town itself is not a big tourist destination, but there's enough to interest the overnight visitor, and there's plenty to see in the surrounding area. Some of Livorno's historic sights, like the Duomo, were reconstructed after being bombed in the Second World War. The town's most renowned monument is the dockside Quattro Mori sculpture, dating to 1595. Pisa is a short distance away by rail or road - and Pisa airport has direct flights to the UK.
