Port of Livorno

The Headquarters of Livorno’s Port Authority are located in one of the city’s historical buildings dating to 1672. It was commissioned by an important trader of Ligurian origin, Giuseppe di Pietro Rossano (born in Alassio - 1621), who established a company in Livorno in the mid 1600s. Although the city was central to his business dealings, he and his family never settled here on a permanent basis. Despite this and perhaps because of his great success in Livorno he decided to build this magnificent home that is now the seat of the Livorno Port Authority.
