Cisternoni of Livorno - Cisternoni

Cisternoni

Cisternoni are not peculiar to Livorno; they have been constructed from Roman times in many other many other locations in Italy. Most notably in Albano Laziale in the 3rd century AD, and Spasiano in Sorrento. Both of these examples, like the comparatively new Gran Conserva, are today still in use. Like their earlier counterparts the Cisternoni of Livorno are today places of public interest.
