Grates

Probably the most famous grates in town are the large ones in “Piazza della Repubblica”, giving air and light to the “Fosso Reale” flowing underneath.A vintage grate ventilating a cavity floor, in “Corso Mazzini”.This one, old and elaborate, was part of the ventilation system of a toilet and it is placed at eye level in “Via Ricasoli”.

May Day

I was so traumatized after our Pisan strolls that I was not able to resume my walks for weeks. The roof of the “Palazzo San Francesco” seen from “Via Cairoli”.A decoration on a gate in “Via Marradi”.Blue shutters and white curtains in “Via delle Grazie”.Same street, no doubt about the age of this building.“Via Ginori”, Gazanias in a planter (Thanks MB!).

Blessed Karol

On 19 March 1982 Pope John Paul II made a pastoral visit to the Diocese of Livorno, celebrating a open-air Holy Mass in “Piazza della Repubblica” and visiting the Sanctuary of Montenero.Last summer we saw this image of the now Blessed Karol Wojtyła behind an altar erected just outside the Basilica, on the parvis of the Sanctuary.Let us render a modest homage to Pope John Paul the Great, the day after his beatification.
