Livorno Daily Photo: Via del Cedro

Sunday, March 8, 2015

The project around the Dogana d'acqua goes beyond encasing the rebuilt structure in glass: another completely new building is taking form on its right: here is the Via del Cedro (Citron Street) facade.

One of the strangest things about this wing of the complex is that they will soon re-dig a large water basin just in front of it. The basin was once part of the Canale dei Navicelli and was interred when the waterway fell in disuse.

Dina said...: Yes, that's quite ironic, putting the water back after it was filled in.; March 9, 2015 at 11:20 AM
