Livorno is an Italian port city on the west coast of Tuscany. It's known for its seafood, Renaissance-era fortifications and modern harbor with a cruise ship port. Its central Terrazza Mascagni, a waterside promenade with checkerboard paving, is the city's main gathering place. The bastions of the 16th-century Fortezza Vecchia face the harbor and open onto Livorno's canal-laced Venezia Nuova quarter. (Wikipedia)

#Livorno
Beautiful square overlooking the sea, with its very special black and white checkered floor, is one of the most beautiful places in Livorno. The Terrace – named after the Livornese composer Pietro Mascagni – has a very special architecture: the floor is a 8,700 square meter chessboard, made up of over 34,000 white and black tiles, and the balustrade made up of 4,000 columns separates the square from the sea.
