This is a view from “Piazza della Repubblica” toward the “Scali delle Cantine”, on the right, and the “Fortezza Nuova”, on the left.
The postcard dates from the first years of the last century and, as you can see, not much has changed in the buildings.

Doesn't change much idneed. The buildings are pretty - I like the pastel shades of them. Nice place:)
Everything is the same:)
The first photo is wonderful...just a very beautiful place...looks like a golf course on the left hand side along the fort...
It is amazing how little has changed over the years.
I think that is one thing I like about Europe...
Have a great day!
Do boats still navigate the waterway?
Now the burning question, You didn't take both pictures, did you?
And I find that fact amazing and wonderful!
Beautiful! It hasn't changed much over the years.
I love to see photos of the same place compared after many years. It's always nice to see it not changed.
Wonderful post and wonderful picture.
Thank god not much has changed. That is what is so marvelous about Livorno and Europe. It's what makes so many of us over on this side of the pond so envious. Not just your incredible history but that you SAVE and preserve it so that future generations can enjoy it. Great photo and postcard. Keep it coming.
The two photos look almost identical! Amazing.
@ brattcat - Yes, leisure boats still navigate these canals (fossi).
@ B SQUARED - About the first I'm pretty sure, about the second I think my granddad was twelve at the time...
Very nice - it is always great to compare today with yesterday by means of a postcard.
Fascinating, so little change!
I was in an Italian restaurant a couple of days ago and there was a poster of Livorno, theres so much I know of that town now.....:)
It's really great to be able to see that the area looks pretty much the same today as all those years ago.
Great shots. I love now and then photos. It's amazing not much has changed in all that time.
Wonderful comparison - I'm so impressed that you got the layout exactly the same!
Glorious shot and so little changed - thank goodness.
