Moby Wonder

2012-02-15T00:01:00.006+01:00

The “Moby Wonder” usually links Livorno with Olbia, in Sardinia. It is a 175m cruiseferry, which is a kind of ship combining some features of a cruise ship with a ferry. The boat was built in 2001 in South Korea by Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering, the second largest shipbuilder in the world. Moby Lines is known for its liveries featuring Looney Tunes characters: Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Taz, Wile E. Coyote, Tweety and Sylvester are neatly framed on the sides of this ferry.

Giorni della merla

An Italian legend says that the last three days of January are the coldest of the year and are called the “giorni della merla” (literally: days of the she-blackbird). Different versions of the story say that the “merla” was a bird, a cannon or even a noblewoman. Sometimes the days are stretched until the first of February, but if this period is very cold, spring will come soon and it will be warm.“Scali delle Cantine” seen from “Piazza della Repubblica”.The monument to Garibaldi, in his namesake square, is surrounde by the snow.The “Capitana” bastion of the “Fortezza Vecchia”.Monument to Leopold II of Tuscany and church of “San Benedetto” in “Piazza XX Settembre”.“Piazza della Repubblica” in the early afternoon.

The “Sardinia Regina” is leaving the “Porto Mediceo” escorted by a pilot boat. I like the shape of this ferry because it is like a scaled-down version of an old-fashioned cruise ship. She was built as “Visby” for a Swedish owner in 1972 at the Jozo Lozovina-Mosor Shipyard in Trogir, Croatia (Yugoslavia then). In the 1980s she was back in the Mediterranean, soon joined by her sister ship, the “Corsica Victoria”.

The act of devotion became even more significant because the same day, just before 4 PM, an earthquake shook northern Italy and tremors were felt in Livorno for about 15 seconds.

Now it stands alone, just outside the former Orlando Shipyard, awaiting an inclusion of sort in the new residential area already in construction where once the workshops were.In this detail of a view of Livorno from L'Italie à vol d'Oiseau (A bird's eye view of Italy) by Alfred Guesdon (circa 1850) you can easily spot the rounded shape of the tower between the two bridges, in the lower right part of the lithography.In the lower left part of the same image you can find this square tower when it was still facing the sea.
