The sea

On the outskirts of Pisa continuing towards the sea at south of the Arno river mouth you reach Marina di Pisa, a bathing place with its seaside resorts which belong to the second half of the nineteenth century, and its buildings built in liberty style are its most important feature.
Marina di Pisa rose in the nineteenth century even if long before it was already populated by fishermen. It was founded by a bathing establishment's owner whose name was Ceccherini. He early had a Resort near San Rossore but Savoia people (who lived in this property) did not like the closeness to the common people who went there to have bath of sun.
The Royal Savoia family in order to resolve this trouble gave Ceccherini a huge amount of money, with which he built another seaside Resort in 1869. A lot of villas began to be built along the littoral road. The long beach and the clearness of the sea fascinated Gabriele D'Annunzio, famous Italian poet, and then after him many other aristocratic people came to Marina di Pisa. In this way began the "Liberty style" that you can recognize from the houses appearance. It is said that D'Annunzio wrote in this town "La Pioggia nel Pineto", one of his greatest poetry.
From Marina di Pisa daily trip in ferry-boats to Porto Venere and Cinque Terre.
