Livorno is enlivened all year round by original, interesting events. Effetto Venezia is a summer festival with dozens of small
and large-scale initiatives. It is named for the old quarter where it is held, built along the Medicean canals.
Many events are held at sea during spring and summer, when the Mediterranean is at its loveliest: the City of Livorno-Naval
Academy Sailing Trophy (TAN), and traditional rowing races such as the Palio Marinaro, the Risi’atori Cup and the Ilio Barontini Cup.
An intense theatrical and operatic season, classical and modern music concerts, important painting exhibitions, above all
from the Macchiaioli tradition, and horse races at the Francesco Caprilli track are examples of the various entertainment
possibilities in Livorno.
