My secret is out! :-)

Livorno looks great 😊. I spent a lot of time in Italy and on the trains. My dad had continental train passes because he worked for British Rail.

Brilliant Scott, loving the longer videos which show more of your trips. Your tongue in cheek humour is also very funny as well. Keep up the great work 👍🙂

You looked quite happy eating your pizza. Something I too would like to see is the Leaning Tower of Pisa.

Ciao Scott, è sempre un piacere vederti in Italia, sei sempre il benvenuto!🇮🇹🍕🍻

Very interesting! I will be getting a train later this year from Treviso to Venice to Florence to Pisa

Scott, I believe ( from the date when you visited, going by the Fiorentina v Lecce football game) what you saw in Livorno was the locals celebrating Livorno being granted city status by Ferdinando I de' Medici back in 1606.

Great video as always. Bizarrely, my wife and I ate at that exact same pizza restaurant when we were in Pisa in 2007, the food was superb and the staff were really nice.

Rosetta Stone helped me learn broken Italian to get by when I lived and worked in Bologna some 13 odd years ago. Back then it was just a CD ROM how things have evolved

Much prefer your longer videos 🎉🎉

Great update Scott , we loved this one , especially the pizza lol ,keep up the good work 👍

Hi.... Tomorrow I'm going back to my lake of Como... I stay in Glasgow....I love trains too .... I hope to see you In Como soon. Ciao enjoy my country...

The amounts of stops on the train makes it sound like the slow train to Thurso and Wick from Inverness!

Good stuff scott you got your piece of 🍕 in pisa enjoyed thanks

Glad you started getting sponsors, you deserve some cash from all the hard work you out in!

It certainly leans!

I love Italy and Italian trains are some of the best I’ve been on. Most of my trips have been in the North but I’d love to go further south on my next trip. I’m trying to tick off all the remaining Football stadiums used in Italia 90

Amazing video! Thanks for sharing.

Great to see that you now have a sponsor. Keep up the good work!!

Fabulous trip and a good long vlog...well done 👏👏

Scott, really enjoying your videos. Very interesting and entertaining, keep up the great work. You never stop!!

Yet another very enjoyable journey Scott I continue to enjoy watching your Vlogs keep up the good work

Che bello sentirti parlare in Italiano. Grazie per averci visitato. Ti aspettiamo a Venezia.

Great video. I have travelled around Italy by train a long time ago. Trying to pluck up courage to do it again but on my own this time. Thanks for these videos you are for sure encouraging me xx

You will have an amazing experience. The new high-speed trains are amazing.

Great video. You are one of our favourites

Regional trains don't always stop everywhere, some skip sole stops and the "Regionale Veloce" are like express trains that only do some stops, hence running faster. On an RV, Florence-Pisa takes less than one hour.

Regarding the recycling bins - the Algarve also has bins on the street, colour coded with huge underground containers which are emptied when the streets aren't busy ie no traffic jams. Good idea.

Great video as always Scott. 👍

great video my wife was surprised to find out that Florence in Italian is Firenze

Good video.

Great video as always. We were in Pisa last year when we did our Epic European Adventure, 11 countries in 22 days all by train. You might want to double check your Rosetta Stone link in the description, it does not have your code in the url just xxxx so it goes to a page not found. 👍

Another great video Scott

I saw the leaning tower when I was a kid when we were on holiday there

what i like about his videos the most is that they arent about politics

I love these regional trains which stop at all the stations - you get a chance to see more of the local colour . Besides who's in a hurry when you're a holiday. Any attempt to usurp the title of home of pizza will be met with strong opposition from Naples .

Very nice video Scotty! Been to Florence and Pisa but not Livorno. Now I wish my Italian wife and I could have seen Livorno. It seems to be a very interesting and inviting place. In Rome we saw mandarin trees lining the streets but locals said they were no good for eating but just ornamental. Sure looked healthy though. I had a photo taken in Pisa trying to hold up the wonky tower. Felt a proper dill doing it and the photo was a flop anyway. Going back to Rome we saw what appeared to be mountains heavily covered by snow. This was in Summer. Turns out they were mountains of marble. Absolutely beautiful. Thanks for your efforts Scott!

I thought the ‘leaning tower of Pisa’ was world famous? Been there a few times.

Italian regional train tickets are not train-bound, unlike their long-distance trains, but i had wondered which ticket you bought. You could also have bought a ticket at the ticket machine or office, valid for 4 hours as well, but the 4-hours validity starts after you stamped your ticket, much more flexible.

Congrats on the sponsorship !!

Love your trip reports

Well done Scott. You’ve got a good personality and I enjoyed the extended videos. You should do more like this. Gelato moment made me 😂

I am sure 'Fred' would have climbed it!

Wouldn't mind doing that journey. Maybe in the videos you can say where/when you bought the tickets.

The saga continues

Cant believe,you did not give more time to the Lotus Sunbeam,(Talbot Chrysler)built in Linwood on your home Doorstep

Interesting video. Better to just buy the regional tickets from a machine and validate; or via the app at the last minute.

Last time I was in Italy which was 1971! You did not have to search for pizza. In Rome central station vendors brought trays of hot pizza slices to the train windows for you to buy. Great video btw. 👍👍 from 🇦🇺

No Pizza Huts or Domino's in Italy, great, you get the genuine article there. It's other European countries like the UK who fall prey to these bloody American frachises. (It happens in Canada, too.) A nice vlog, Scott.

I would personally say Spanish and Italian are the easiest languages to learn for an English person. It helps that both languages are so similar. Many Italian and Spanish speakers can somewhat understand each other without ever having learned the others language.

Did you know that the English name for Livorno is 'Leghorn' ?

It's odd that you pre booked a ticket for such a small journey on a regional train. We never bother pre booking for regional trains. It's just not worth it, especially with the limitations like the 4 hour window.

we went up the tower ourselves n it doesn't feel that bad wen ur in the tower n u hav to b fit lol

You managed to do a whole video of 28 minutes without one mention of the word Renaissance. It was all about pizza and beer. That Scott must be a record. Not much different to the Charles and Diana visit to Florence whose only remark about the city was the presence of a British ex pat community and of how great it was.
