It is probably a curse of sorts, but we can't have two fortresses open to the public at the same time. After five years the
Fortezza Nuova (New Fortress)
reopened last March in a last minute attempt at endearing the electorate to the old Administration, but at the time the
Fortezza Vecchia (Old Fortress) was already closed to the general public.
Now it is open only on occasions or for rare events: to visit the place as a normal citizen you are requested to call for an appointment and this is only for groups of at least five persons!

Super photo. I'd love to visit. But it sounds as though you are riddled with bureaucratic bozos, too. It must be the same the world over.
ReplyDeleteSo many fascinating places! Must be difficult to fund them all.
ReplyDeleteSo sad. Both places look amazing in your images.
ReplyDeleteAh, red tape, the bane of many an existence. This fortress at least looks impressive.
ReplyDeleteStrong looking fort.
ReplyDeleteAt least their sign seems well done.
ReplyDeleteInteresting back to back: this complex fortress and the simple sparrow.
ReplyDeleteLivorno is so beautiful. We enjoyed our many visits there. :) I love seeing your harbor shots - they bring bag good memories.
ReplyDeleteWell you'll have to start your own tours then... :-(
ReplyDeleteMi pare assurdo...noto che nel titolo hai usato un inglese antico. Ciao, Arianna
