Municipal Aquarium, Public aquarium at Piazzale Mascagni, Livorno, Italy
The Mediterranean Sea section displays numerous tanks with fish species native to local waters, including sharks, rays, and colorful coral formations.
Architect Vittorio Gregotti designed this educational facility, which opened its doors to the public on June 20, 1937 to promote marine science.
The institution bears the name of Giacinto Cestoni, an Italian naturalist who contributed to scientific research through systematic observations of marine life.
The facility maintains specialized areas for marine animal rehabilitation, particularly focusing on sea turtles requiring medical care before returning to their natural habitat.
Visitors can experience direct contact with marine life in a dedicated tactile pool where they touch rays swimming in controlled conditions.
