The entrance of the Greek Orthodox Cemetery in Via Mastacchi.
The plaque outside the gate, in Greek and Italian, says: “Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople, Archdiocese of Italy, church of the Dormition of Our Lady in Livorno.” The small church is barely visible from the outside.

A very stately gate.
Looks like an interesting place for a visit! Cheers from Minnesota
Very interesting gate details, VP. The church must contain relics.
Lovely.
Just a glimpse is pretty.
That is an impressive looking gate.
I'm rather surprised as I just assumed that there would not be a lot of Orthodox in Italy. Is that a date palm in the right hand photo?
The Dormition! At first sight of your title I almost thought you might be here on Mt. Zion.
I wonder if there are still some Orthodox in Livorno to come to this nice church.
A photo of the interior is at the Russian Wiki:

This is new to me..., thanks VP !
We get just a peek at that domed church. It certainly seems to have a Greek look to it.
The gate is delightful! And the peek is nice too and of course makes me want to see more...
A nice and unique gate.
Love that gate!
Dina - The interior (and the exterior) shown at the Russian Wikipedia page is a different church: it is the Santissima Annunziata (Most Holy Annunciation) church in Via della Madonna. This is not an Orthodox place of worship, but a Greek-Catholic church following the Byzantine Rite.
Oops, sorry. Thanks VP.
