Urban farm, scali del Refugio, LivotnoI found this “fattoria urbana” (urban farm) on the “Scali del Refugio”, in the Venezia quarter.Urban farm, scali del Refugio, LivotnoThese stone-paved slopes from street level to water level are quite common along the canals of Livorno, but farming on them was unheard of until now.
