Livorno

Livorno, a port that also appears in older English sources as Leghorn, was a relatively small but fortified port on the west coast of Italy between Pisa and Genoa. It was controlled at various points in the later Middle Ages by the Pisans, Milanese, and Genoese; the Republic of Florence bought it from the last of these on 28 August 1421. It was developed into a major Western Mediterranean port by the Medici dukes of Florence in the early 16th century, for whom it served as the main port of the Grand Duchy of Tuscany. Campbell #505.
