An all-female spirit

To mark its landmark fifty years of activities, the Soroptimist Club of Livorno has created this Little Guide, which is imbued with an all-female spirit, in that the project was developed by Club members and put together with the contribution of female students of classes 4a, 4c, 4b of the “F. Cecioni” High School as part of a school-to-work programme in 2018. The contents, concise and up-to-date, are structured into five sections, which reveal, in snappy, lively form (with lots of handy tips!), the history, sights, tastes, must-see places and distinctive features of a city that manages to amaze, surprise and enchant its visitors and which is well worth discovering and enjoying.

​Soroptimist International is a worldwide organization made up of women engaged in professional and  managerial careers. Through concrete actions, the Soroptimists create the conditions for promoting the  potential of women,  fostering  their integration into an equal opportunities work environment, endorsing a transparent,  democratic society, in addition to embracing diversity and promoting  voluntary work.
Founded in the USA in 1921, Soroptimist International operates today in 121 countries and boasts over 3,000 clubs with a total of around 72,000 members. In Italy there are 157 clubs with 5,300 members.
