Being quite tired to show you old black and white postcards or the sad reality of today's ruins, I am going to show you the “Terme del Corallo” as they really were.
Franco Gizdulich, a Florence-based architect specialized in architectural models, kindly allowed me to use these images of his model of the “Terme del Corallo”.
The original model was made for Livorno's water utility and it is probably still at its headquarters.

Great model and photos!
These are wonderful, VP!!! They remind me of models I saw and photographed outside of Amsterdam in April. Architectural models are fascinating. They resemble the real world, but they are so simple and clean and antiseptic.
Absolutely amazing! These models take my breath away. I looked at Google Images for comparisons--thank you for your photos.
Nice looking model.
So beautiful. Seeing this makes the present state of the place even more painful.
It was surely a beautiful place!
Gorgeous!
This is a fantastic model.
Beautiful model of the structure. Great shots.
As beautiful as they are, they make me sad...
These models are perfect.
Simply fantastic! How beautiful.
