We have already seen
the eight busts decorating our Council Chamber. Here are now four bas-reliefs, placed on the walls just above the busts, illustrating the history of our city.
Looking from the public area we have on the left “Livorno nella leggenda” (Livorno in legend).
On the right we can see “Livorno all'epoca della contessa Matilde” (Livorno at the time of the countess Matilda).
Opposite we have on the left “Livorno venduta dai genovesi ai fiorentini” (Livorno sold by Genoa to Florence).
On the right we can see “Livorno Medicea” (Medicean Livorno).

Actually, that chandelier isn't too shabby either. :-)
very nice reliefs
I agree about the chandelier. It was the first thing I noticed.
These are just gorgeous VP. Nice Council Chamber.
It is a good thing that the city fathers (and mothers) respect the city's history enough to include these bas reliefs.
They are beautiful. And just the titles point to such a full history.
So much detail.
They are fantastic VP, so many historic details in the council chambers.
Beautiful bas-reliefs, they tell a story.
Love these. Yes, quite a story.
The reliefs are beautifully done, and I really like that council chamber.
They are beautiful and most interesting. Livorno has a fascinating history.
These are lovely, VP!
Nicely captured! I can see the texture!
Beautiful.
Great post, VP!
