From a free tourist map distributed throughout Livorno:

Our friend Matteo should be quite worried looking at this map: the
Old English Cemetery has become a “Cimitero Valdese” (Waldensian Cemetery). The former Anglican church of Saint George is here a Waldensian church (it is Catholic), while the actual
Waldensian temple is marked simply as a church.

It gets even better in “Via della Madonna” where they got all the churches wrong. From left to right we should have the former Armenian church of “
San Gregorio Illuminatore” and the
Madonna church. The recently restored church of the “
Santissima Annunziata” is in the right position, but with a wrong name.
In the bottom right corner “Via Pieroni”, named after the renowned architect Alessandro Pieroni, is spelled like an Italian brand of beer.

Oi veh. Giving tourists this map is not exactly a confidence-building measure. I hope it is not published by the municipality.
Maybe the map-drawer and the proofreader first did a tour of Beer Street.
Thank you for this inspiration very much, as I shall check an alike for over here. Can't remember when last I had a beer.
Please have a good Sunday.
Better if I do not comment... another two arms stolen to agricultural works ;)
Someone is more interested in beer than in history. I think that could be multiplied exponentially if we took a survey.
From what I have been hearing about iPhone 5, this could have been Apple's map.
As long as I can find all the bars in town, I'm happy.
Mappa turistica da poco...ciao, Arianna
Well, one out of three ain't bad. hahahaha
Estupendas siempre las cosas que nos dejas.
Saludos y un abrazo.

There's going to be a lot of confused tourists VP..
I'll keep this in mind when I come to Livorno!
That's what too much beer does to you! ;-)
It is a shame, though, publishing such crap.
