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).
