Livorno

This seaside town that belongs to a province of the same name, is also well known by its anglicized version, Leghorn, thanks to the English expatriates who once swarmed the place – incidentally even the well-known poet Shelly was among them. The name is still popular and very much in use. A breed of chicken is named after this city and so is a popular comic character of Looney Tunes, Foghorn Leghorn, who is a favorite among many children.
