On the east side of “Piazza Cavour” we find “Via Maggi”, formerly part of a “Via degli Spalti” (Embankments Road) because it ran outside the ancient walls.
It has several interesting buildings, some renewed and a few in need of some attention.
Just before getting back to “Piazza Cavour” we find “Piazza Giorgio Caproni”, one of the newest squares in town.
A scene of “La prima cosa bella”, a movie by Paolo Virzì almost completely located in Livorno, was filmed here last May.See also: Piazza Giorgio Caproni - La prima cosa bella - Federica's Corner - Sun, Moon and Starfish

Looks like someone forgot to pull the drapery inside before shutting the window.
ReplyDeleteThe second...well, it does need a bit of work.
The third - hmmm...this must have some meaning but I have a hard time understanding why anyone would put something like this on his/her building.
Thanks, Trillian, for you wonderful comments!
Some interesting and artsy building details indeed! The first photo reminds me how our youngest daughter tries to shut the car door without getting the seatbelt back inside first!
ReplyDeleteLike all three for different reason...a story for each. Maggi is our dog's name!
ReplyDeleteI wonder what he is laughing about in the third photo :)
ReplyDeleteThe composition on the first photo is really nice and the movement of the curtain (?)just adds to it.
ReplyDeleteFreedom to curtains! Glad it escaped.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed seeing the clip from "La prima cosa bella."
Interesting series of pics. I do like gargoyles. MB
ReplyDeleteEach one of them are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing.
Love the composition of that first shot. The escaped curtain is full of symbolism.
ReplyDeleteI would just love to be greeted by that face every day!
ReplyDeleteFantastic shot of the curtain flying out of the window! Very charming. Such atmosphere.
ReplyDeleteI'm struck by the colors. And that person may need some new drapes.
ReplyDeleteI really like the first image with the curtain flying :)
ReplyDeleteAs always the pics of this special Italian place are fascinating!
ReplyDeleteGod bless you!

I could look at shots of old windows and shutters all day but that first shot of yours is special. I love the life that the curtain gives to the photo. Really super. As if it's escaped. One wonders what goes on inside, who lives in this room.
ReplyDeleteVeramente italiana la prima foto! Mi piace molto! :-)
ReplyDeleteLove that open window! Great shot.
ReplyDeleteLove that blowing curtain - how on earth did it get outside? Or maybe it's a secret sign: my went to Pisa, come on up.
