[Photos by Trillian]
Just before the “occupation” in Piazza della Repubblica took place a “Gran Ballo risorgimentale” (Grand Ball of the Risorgimento). This ball was organized by the Livorno chapter of the “Società di Danza” (Dance Society) with guest dancers from other italian cities and from Prague.
We'll cover this event with two posts, this is the first part with photos by Trillian.See also: The Austrians Are Coming - Balliamo - Fanfara dei Carabinieri

Wow. Imagine being a guest dancer. Must be almost as prestigious as being a guest photographer! ;)
Very nice photos, I like especially first one - who dancec like this today!
Oh I would love that! Swirling around, swooning from the heat and too tight dresses!!! Great shots!
What beautiful ball gowns. The ladies all look so elegant
Everyone is sooooo elegant! Excellent shots, Trillian - makes me want to dress up and dance.
How many colors, how much joy! Italy, Italy forever! Always a "sorpresa" on every corner!
They looks happy!!
And I like those wonderful costumes.
What a rich series of photographs. I particularly love the third one, the interaction of the dancers between dances.
Voglio trasferirmi a Livornooooo!!!
:-)
My goodness, this was a huge event...I had no idea. The dancer in the first photo looks a bit like Hugh Jackman at the angle it's shot.
I think you probably had a good time here!
Ooh, they look so grand! I especially like the first photo! Love the expression on her face — like she's really in love with her partner :)
Teach me how to dance :). Just like in the movies. The costume, isn't it too hot to wear in a sunny day? Love the first image. The girl enjoys her dance so much.
The dresses are beautiful! Looks like everyone had a good time. Looking forward to more.
