This Tuscany course, a public road circuit, was first set up in 1921
with all of its glory days coming before World War II and move of racing
to purpose-built circuits afterward. There were efforts to revive it in
1947 and 1953 but neither gained traction. The track is best known as
the site of the Coppa Ciano grand prix race but hosted the Italian Grand
Prix once in 1937.

The track was originally a long course including a section running up
into the local mountains with 300 meters of change in elevation during
each lap. The mountain section of the track was dropped in 1936,
focusing more on the section right along the Mediterranean Sea running
near and inside Livorno itself.
