About Livorno
Livorno is where mainland Italy loads its cars for the islands. Up to fifty-six sailings a week leave here for Sardinia, Corsica and beyond, from a terminal ten minutes from a Tuscan city most travellers drive straight past. The catch is the island people most often assume they can reach from here — and cannot.
