I will be moving to Livorno, Italy (Camp Darby) for work as a civilian in January 2016. Any suggestions as to where I should live while there, and what are the best things to do while there?

I've never been there myself, but this link: http://www.usag.livorno.army.mil/ should help you find a way to enjoy your leisure time.

Enjoy!

I lived in Cascina. Nice small walled city with a walking street full of cafe bars, pizza, wine and so on. The town has a nice 25 meter indoor pool and a 50 meter outdoor pool. From Cascina you are 15 minutes to post on the Fi-Pi-Li. Bonus, the town has a train station for when you want to venture into Firenze. It was hard to PCS after 3 years in Cascina.

Learn the language as best you can and as fast as you can. You will have the BEST time there. I don't what Livorno is like now but we had a ball in the early 90's!!! Enjoy yourself!!!
