The beautiful tall pines in Villa Corridi, LivornoThe beautiful tall pines in Villa Corridi, LivornoVilla Corridi is another of Livorno's green areas, out of town on the way to Collinaia. It centres around an old mansion that used to belong to the Corridi family in the mid-19th century and which overlooked the family's extensive farmland all around. When the family died out, the building was turned into a sanatorium and the gardens were restored in the English and Italian styles. Nowadays the villa is a primary school.
