Much has already been written by the reviewers around this park, which overall seems to me one of the best organized Italian cultural parks dedicated to mines. Here I would like to underline the role that has been assumed in promoting and then realizing this park by the archaeologists of the University of Siena, starting from 1970; and especially by prof. Riccardo Francovich (1946-2007), full professor of Medieval Archeology. Francovich conducted the excavation and organization of the scenic medieval mining village of Rocca San Silvestro, which today is the highest settlement in the Park territory, and an outstanding topographical reference point for it; and that, however, until 1984 it was not even recognized by the Italian national service for the protection of monuments ("Soprintendenza"). Gradually, around this focus of archaeological research and discovery, he promoted - also encountering great difficulties - also the enhancement of the post-medieval mining structures that are visited today; such as the "Temperino" mine, the Temperino-Lanzi mining tunnel, now crossed by the train for visitors and in the past by the mineral carts, the "Valle dei Lanzi" where the ore was worked. It seems important to me to be aware that what we visit is substantially due to the passionate commitment of one person.

The most iconic place in Livorno: its checkered tiles and white bannister make it a simply unique promenade by the sea. From here you can watch the sun set until the sky turns red and the Gorgona Island becomes a black silhouette towards the horizon, all the while listening to the sound of the crashing waves and to the banter of locals. People from Livorno come here night and day, rain or shine, for a stroll, for a quick dip during the lunch break, to take a moment for themeselves. This is where I come when I need to clear my mind; there's something intimate yet glorious about this piace. Great for families with children, the Acquarium is close by. There are a lot of cafes, bars and restaurants around, as well as a dance club and an american diner/music venue. In the summer weekends, after the pub or club, people often come here with an ipod and speaker to dance the night away, creating amazing impromptu parties.
