[edit] History

The city was founded during the years of the fascist regime. Benito Mussolini had this once swampy city transformed into what he called "The Pearl of the Mediterranean Sea." Many architects from all over Italy were called upon to build centers for orphans and houses for the rich. In the 1930s places for studying film were constructed, and la Pisorno was built, to expand the ideal of fascism in Italy and to make propaganda. Today, in the area of Tirrenia near Livorno, the old colonies built by Mussolini for orphans are now being restored since they were abandoned after World War II. These colonies are going to be used as future tourist attractions.
