A curious name for this restaurant in Via dei Bagnetti. “L'Ora d'Aria” would be literally the hour of air, or the time an inmate spends out of his cell, usually in the yard of a prison. The building of the “Domenicani” (Blackfriars), a former prison, is just across the street.
A sporting club called “Colosseum” would certainly train amateur gladiators. They probably eat at the nearby “L'Ora d'Aria”.
The “Fosso Reale” (Royal Canal) was originally a moat of sorts surrounding the older part of Livorno. “Al Fosso Reale”, is a restaurant on the Scali delle Cantine, facing the “Fortezza Nuova” where the canal forms a wider basin. They promise you the lost flavors and the smells of the Tuscan cooking.

Like the first image and its idea much.
Please have a good Friday.
These are great VP.
Really interesting signs.
Three for three, VP. All good and interesting signs.
Bring back gladiators! :-) Maybe the owner of l'heure d'air is an ex-con?
The chain on the sign goes with your interpretation.
You got beautiful signs. I like these mythological figures!

That's an interesting set of signs, particularly the first two.

Funny neighbourhood, VP!
Very creative signs, great finds, VP!
How fun. The plays on words work very well for the restaurants. :)
Whether or not I'd like to taste the flavours . . . depends why they were lost originally!
Smart way to attract the attention of customers :))
a hug.
The Colosseum logo is pretty cool!
