Marina di Pisa

Description

Marina di Pisa is a seaside resort of Tuscany, in central Italy. It is a frazione of the provincial capital of Pisa, which lies about 10 km to the east. Marina di Pisa was mostly built during the economic boom of the late 1800s, as a seaside resort. It was further developed in the 1930s. Many marine support industries developed at the mouth of the Arno river and in the area along its banks. The village is mostly inhabited by retirees, although it comes alive with visitors in the summer months to bathe in the warm Mediterranean waters.
