리보르노를 내려다보는 언덕에 위치한 몬테네로 성역(Santuario di Montenero)은 토스카나 해안의 가장 멋진 파노라마 전망 중 하나를 제공합니다. 맑은 날에는 도시 항구에서부터 토스카나 군도의 섬들과 코르시카까지 수평선이 펼쳐집니다. 마돈나 델레 그라치에 성역(Santuario della Madonna delle Grazie)은 발롬브로사 수도사들이 관리하는 깊은 마리아 신앙의 장소입니다. 이 건물은 18세기 우아한 로지아로 둘러싸여 있습니다. 광장 왼편에는 리보르노의 가장 저명한 시민들인 조반니 파토리를 비롯한 아메데오 모딜리아니의 묘를 안치하고 있는 포르티코인 파메디오(Famedio)가 있습니다.

Interesting fact: It was from here that both Giovanni da Verrazzano and Amerigo Vespucci set sail in the 16th century, crossing the Atlantic to reach the new continent. This was also the port where the fleet of the Knights of Santo Stefano, the religious order of chivalry founded by Cosimo de' Medici to counter the raids of the Barbary pirates who plagued the Mediterranean, was moored. Here, in a lavish ceremony, Maria de' Medici embarked to marry Henry IV, King of France. Galileo also came here to test how the telescope he had perfected could be used aboard a ship in rough seas, but an exceptional calm thwarted his attempt.

Near the Sanctuary square there are benches where you can stop and enjoy a beautiful view from Livorno

Montenero Alto is definitely worth a visit, perhaps using (with a normal city bus ticket) the nice funicular that leaves from Piazza delle Carrozze, in Montenero Basso. The Sanctuary dedicated to the Madonna di Montenero, protector of Livorno and Patron Saint of Tuscany, is very interesting; the Church, in rich Baroque style, also houses an impressive collection of humble and rich ex-votos, the result of intense popular devotion over the centuries. In the Famedio, the portico in front of the entrance to the Sanctuary, there are cenotaphs and tombs of people who distinguished themselves in the world of culture, politics, art... who were born or lived in Livorno. Furthermore, from the Sanctuary square and its surroundings you can admire magnificent views from above not only of the city, but - proceeding from southwest to northeast - also of the sea and the islands of the Tuscan Archipelago (and on clear days even of Corsica), of the coast up to Liguria, of the Apuan Alps and of the western Apennines. Finally, going up via della Porcigliana to Castellaccio, you can reach the top of the Montenero hill (over 300 m above sea level) and from here enjoy a wide, splendid panorama.

It is an ok road. There a few trucks but there is a decent shoulder. It is rideable

Beautiful route: it has some panoramic stretches, traffic is scarce and it is not uncommon to meet small flocks of sheep with their lambs along the road 😊

Really beautiful places suitable for all wheels, from dirt roads to beautiful single tracks with the possibility of infinite variations and truly beautiful views.

Fortezza Vecchia of Livorno A journey through time to discover Livorno's past Crossing the threshold of the Old Fortress, sister of the younger New Fortress, you will be transported back in time, to the very place where the first nucleus of the city was born and developed. Built in the sixteenth century by order of Cosimo I De' Medici, this architectural jewel is a real treasure trove of hidden treasures and in reality much more than a simple military fortress. We are dealing with the true guardian of Livorno's roots. The massive red walls, the imposing ramparts rising from the sea, the towers, the coats of arms, the tombstones and the marble details of this Renaissance work of art tell in fact of a past of greatness and resistance, revealing the genius and deeds of the men who shared its history. From the top of the walls you can also enjoy a breathtaking view. You will see Livorno and its port from a unique perspective, while on the horizon the Tyrrhenian Sea spreads out and gets lost in the blue sky. A fortress with the history of Livorno inside The Old Fortress was built starting in 1519 on a project by one of the most famous military architects of the time, Antonio da Sangallo the Elder, and is characterized by an asymmetrical structure that includes three large bastions: that of the Ampolletta, facing the city, that of the Canaviglia towards the port and that of the Capitana to the north-east. The internal structure is a real cross-section of the history of the city: it includes the remains of the medieval tower with a square plan (around 1077) that marked the first port of Livorno, the keep of Mathilda (around 1241) and the fortification walls of the ancient Quadratura dei Pisani, still visible (around 1377). From the Portus Pisanus to the Medici, from the Lorraine to the Napoleonic occupations, from the uprisings of the Risorgimento to the deep scars of the Second World War, the Old Fortress has accompanied Livorno and the people of Livorno in all eras, giving them the beloved certainty of an ever-present reference.
