You step off the ship into the salt-bright air of Livorno and the van eases away, the harbor behind you and gently rolling hills ahead. Streets flatten into sun-warmed highways as the driver points out the red-brick silhouette of Pisa’s Piazza dei Miracoli — the square’s marble choir and the Leaning Tower preside like old rivals daring you to look closer.
