    A day of travel on Italian regional trains and exploring cities. Firstly intriguing Livorno, with it's old car display, fortress and group of period actors. Then to Pisa for a pizza and to track down the leaning tower. A fantastic day, and I feel so glad to have the opportunity to share it with you. #trenitalia #livorno #pisa #leaningTowerOfPisa
    Filmed March 2023 | Florence, Italy.

    Very nice video Scotty! Been to Florence and Pisa but not Livorno. Now I wish my Italian wife and I could have seen Livorno. It seems
    to be a very interesting and inviting place. In Rome we saw mandarin trees lining the streets but locals said they were no good for
    eating but just ornamental. Sure looked healthy though. I had a photo taken in Pisa trying to hold up the wonky tower. Felt a proper
    dill doing it and the photo was a flop anyway. Going back to Rome we saw what appeared to be mountains heavily covered by snow.
    This was in Summer. Turns out they were mountains of marble. Absolutely beautiful. Thanks for your efforts Scott!

    Italian regional train tickets are not train-bound, unlike their long-distance trains, but i had wondered which ticket you bought. You could also have bought a ticket at the ticket machine or office, valid for 4 hours as well, but the 4-hours validity starts after you stamped your ticket, much more flexible.
