The islets aren't more than rocks in the sea, surrounded by a shoal.
A relatively more recent lighthouse stands on one of the islets, opposite the old tower. In background you can see Livorno, the coast and the hills.
“Via Cairoli” was completely rebuilt between the wars, becoming a wider street with broad sidewalks, lined with stately buildings. One the more impressive is the former “Banco di Napoli”, now an “Intesa Sanpaolo” bank, almost opposite the “BNL”.
You can still see the old crest representing the four banks (“Monte di Pietà ”, “Monte dei Poveri”, “Banco dello Spirito Santo” and “Banco di S. Giacomo e Vittoria”) which at the end of the 16th Century joined to form the “Banco di Napoli”.
In this vintage postcard you can clearly see the “Banco di Napoli” on the left.
In the sea of scooters flooding Livorno you can still find a few serious motorcycles.
Harley-Davidson are quite common here, like this in “Via Sardi”.
Another Harley inside the “Porto Mediceo”.
Probably a gathering at a restaurant on the “Scali delle Ancore”.
We have seen in several posts the area around “Piazza Cavour”.
It takes its name from the Cairoli brothers (Benedetto, Ernesto, Luigi, Enrico, Giovanni) who fought and fell in the wars for the Italian unification. Benedetto, the only surviving brother, became a respected politician and statesman.
Before 1784 the street was called “Via delle Quattro Cantonate degli Ebrei” (Street of the Four Corners of the Jews) because, at the time, most of the Jewish families lived in the area at the intersection with “Via del Tempio” (Temple Street), leading to the Old Synagogue. The above picture is taken just from that point, “Via del Tempio” is the street on the left, now leading to the new Synagogue, while in the middle we see the apse of our Cathedral.
From the apse of the Cathedral looking back to “Piazza Cavour”.
Santa Giulia, the Patroness of Livorno, watching over our hospital.
Someone has lost these precious keys in “Corso Amedeo” 
No camper vans or caravans are allowed in this parking in “Piazza Maria Lavagna”.
In “Via San Gaetano” sweet words of love and a brutal advice: “set yourself on fire, she doesn't care about you”.
Same street, somebody really hates this number.
I am fascinated by old door knckers, you can still easily find some original ones around here, like this one in “Via Maggi”.
Opposite “Palazzo de Larderel”, in “Via de Larderel”.
A knocker not in very good shape in “Corso Mazzini”.
In “Via Magenta”, clearly not original but it is eye catching.
