Cisternino di Livorno – three huge buildings in the neoclassical style, built between 1829 and 1848 m years as part of a water treatment complex and reservoirs aqueduct Leopoldina. Fourth Cisternino", which was supposed to appear in the district Castellacci, never was built.

In Italian language "cisternae" means "great tank". They supply the city, and today is the largest Mediterranean port, fresh water. In addition, built by the architect Pasquale Poccianti, tanks are an example of an aesthetic approach to design utilitarian structures.

Aqueduct Leopoldina, also known as the aqueduct di Colognole, and neoclassical tanks Livorno were part of the project will not only supply the town with water, but also for cleaning it up. A Central element of the project was the aqueduct with a length of about 18 km, which summarized the water from Colognole. This engineering masterpiece was put into operation in 1816, the year, long before the construction is completed. Until 1912, the aqueduct was the only urban water supplier.

The construction of the aqueduct began in 1793, the year on behalf of Duke Ferdinand III and designed by architect Giuseppe Salvetti. In 1799, the year the work was stopped due to the death of Salvetti because of political disagreements that arose in Tuscany in the years of the Napoleonic wars. Only in 1806, the year of Queen Maria Luisa ordered to continue the construction of the aqueduct – the work continued until 1824, the year. In a further design of the aqueduct again modified.

La Gran Mothballs, also known as the Ile Cisternae, is the largest and most famous indoor tank Livorno. It was built in 1829-42-m, Pasquale Poccianti. In 1833, the year in order to commemorate the wedding of the ruling Tuscan Duke Leopoldo II and Marie Antoinette, was completed ahead of schedule the Grand facade of Canned food, although the structure remained inoperative until 1842, the year. Today this building has a surreal look, thanks to its dome, a model for which was the Roman Pantheon.

A smaller tank, Cisternino di Pian di Rota, was built in 1845, the year. It is also designed in a neoclassical style, but reminds the Palladian villas of the Veneto. The symmetrical facade is crowned with a massive portico in the form of a Pro-style, and inside is a huge rectangular tank.

Finally, Cisternino di Citta was built in 1848, the year. It is notable for a large loggia with ionic columns and narrow Windows. This building was never used for water storage, and since 1945, it housed the city's cultural center.
