It is well known that Alessandro Manzoni (1785–1873) came to Tuscany to “rinse clothes in the Arno”.

As reported by Juliet, the eldest 20-year-old daughter, in her diary, from 10 to 25 July 1827, the complete family, made up of thirteen people, including servants — moving with two carriages, one of which during the journey ended in an escarpment — came to Livorno.
