LIVORNO TUSCANY - Discover one of Tuscany's amazing coastal gems. You'll be surprised for certain!

BUONGIORNO lovely friends and viewers!
Welcome to "Tales from Tuscany"!
We are Marisa and David, Australian expats now living part-time in Chianni Tuscany.
During the Global Pandemic, we decided to buy our Italian dream home, sight unseen and with no prior knowledge of the area.
This is our journey and we are taking you along with us!
TODAY'S VLOG...
I'd always heard of Livorno, without knowing much about it apart from the fact that it lay on the coast and was a major port town.
In all honestly, I was more than surprised by this vibrant and very elegant coastal city, which is colourful, vivacious, multi-faceted and has ana amazing coastal vibe which I love.
Much maligned and relatively off the tourist tracks, this city deserves a better wrap than what it gets.
Come share the day with me and my gorgeous Irish friends!
As always, we hope you enjoy the time you spend with us, as much as we love having you with us!
Love and hugs...
Baci ed abbracci :D
Marisa and David xoxoxo

Absolutely loved that huge indoor market. I think Livorno was badly bombed during WW2 and many historic buildings destroyed. Architecture mixed as a result. Intriguing place, worth a visit - and a walk along the mesmerising promenade! Thanks for the video. ❤️👍

[@talesfromtuscany]

You’re absolutely right Phil! It is a mix because of wartime damages but it’s an interesting mix and very elegant! I can’t wait to visit with David and do the little boat trip as well! Thanks so much fir watching 🥰❤️🙏🏼🤗

[@MsStromboli1968]

Never had I ever had any interest to visit Livorno! … but the market! And the promenade…gorgeous Mediterranean Sea..clear water and checkerboard tiles ! ❤

[@talesfromtuscany]

Livorno is very underrated and I had no idea it was so lovely! It's a gorgeous hidden gem and I know many people who live there and love it! It's such an elegant smaller city. Thanks so much for watching 🥰🤗😘

[@deckard1970]

Glad you enjoyed my hometown, we're so used to be considered the Tuscany's "underdogs". It is such a beautiful city plus we have a hell of a seaside 😃

[@talesfromtuscany]

Oh I loved it! It’s definitely a hidden gem to many people and I’m so happy to spread the word! Thank you so much for watching. 🩵🤗🥰🙏🏼

[@davids9800]

Fantastic town so much to see, the market was awesome and the wall art and sea front 🥰♥️😘

[@talesfromtuscany]

We will go there together my love! You’ll love it I’m sure 🥰🩵😍💋💋💋💋

[@christinehedary1491]

Wow, what an amazing episode. I loved every part of it. Thank you for sharing. I love the market and you do such a great job, pointing out the architecture and the different shops and even pointing out the spa hotel at the seaside. Thank you for sharing.

[@talesfromtuscany]

Ciao Christine! Oh thank you so much for your lovely comments and it makes me so happy that you enjoyed it so much! See you next time 🥰♥️🫶🏼🤗

[@cmp77777]

You did it again❣️Livorno is such a lovely city. The market amazing. I can't believe you said that about architecture, drawing houses when you were younger. I was the same, wanted to be an architect until someone told me I had to be good at maths😆 I have taken so many photos on my travels of different buildings & houses. Great having Naeve & Owen to spend time with, enjoy🎵🧡🍷🍕🥗🌮🏤⛱️🎵🧡

[@talesfromtuscany]

Oh I’m so happy that you enjoyed it so much my lovely! Isn’t it amazing all the things we have in common? I too have always taken a million photos of windows, doors and beautiful houses over the decades. It’s hard not to! Yes… I’m blessed with some gorgeous friends and Eoin and Niamh are so special and kind! I love their company! Thank you so much for joining me again Celia….so grateful 🥰🩵🤗💐🫶🏼

[@cmp77777]

[@niamh2896]

What a great day out that was. I’d recommend anyone to go and explore Livorno for themselves.

[@talesfromtuscany]

It was truly fabulous and better for being with you two! I fully agree with you Niamh...it's very much worth the visit! 🥰🤗😘

[@CasaArdor]

We loved your beautiful video of our little paradise in Tuscany. We wish more people knew of the beauty and culture of Livorno because it is a very different place than many bigger Tuscany towns. Your video showed just how wonderful and Tasty 😋 it can be!! We love calling this place home ♥

[@talesfromtuscany]

It truly is such a beautiful part of the coastline and Livorno is a unique and diverse city, with so much to offer! The villas are so elegant all along the coastline and your home will soon be amongst the most elegant I’m sure! Thank you so much for watching and for your lovely comments! Sending hugs and hopefully we will meet one day! 🥰♥️🤗🫶🏼

[@casamiasalentina5818]

Thank you for taking us to Livorno. Beautiful town. We visited there back in 2018 and danced along the Piazza Masagne.

[@talesfromtuscany]

You’re so welcome! Isn’t it a lovely place? That must have been dancing on the promenade… how fabulous 😍 thanks so much for watching my friends! 🥰🥰🤗💖

[@gurgonebad]

Thank you for sharing. Do you know if there is any Sandy beaches there ?

[@talesfromtuscany]

You’re welcome. Not that I’m aware of but within a reachable distance there are lovely stretches of sandy beaches at Viareggio, Forti dei Marmi and others. Livorno was mostly rock or pebble beaches from what I could see but I’m not certain if there are others with sand. Thank you for watching! 🥰🤗♥️

[@babysgotatemper]

You haven't eaten 5 & 5 of Gagarin next to the central market😓😓😓

[@talesfromtuscany]

Are you telling me that I need to try this next time? 🤗
