Cisternino di città, Neoclassical cistern in Piazza Guerrazzi, Livorno, Italy.
The rectangular structure features a semicircular apse and an Ionic loggia rising above the base on the side facing Via Grande street.
Built between 1837 and 1848 under architect Pasquale Poccianti's supervision, this cistern was designed to receive water from the Acquedotto di Colognole system.
The building now functions as Casa della Cultura, incorporating a theater in its lower section and serving as a center for community engagement.
Located at the intersection of Piazza Guerrazzi and Piazza della Repubblica, the cistern offers visitors access through the main entrance at Largo del Cisternino.
Despite its elaborate construction and engineering design, this water storage facility never fulfilled its intended purpose as part of Livorno's water distribution network.
