6. .
• The coastal territory of Pisa is characterized by a particular
river-maritime circuit with a great potential, linking the
historical cities (Pisa) and ports (Marina di Pisa and Leghorn),
through the Navicelli Canal and the Arno River
• An enhancement of waterways would provide an effective
way for implementing tourism and logistics
• One of the main project is the realization of Navicelli’s
Water Gate, in order to restore the ancient link between
the Arno river and Navicelli Canal.

7. .
• The marina is still under construction (the water basin
was just filled on February 2013)
• The work will be completed during 2013 .
• The plan is the realization of nr. 475 berths, equipment
and port services.
• Along the left bank of the Arno river there is a long-established nautical
reality. In this bank there are about 30 little businesses that offers nautical
services and provides mooring to 500 boats (5 – 15 mt).
