Talk:Livorno

message: *I just read in the article that Livorno "received moderate damage" during WWII. I don't think it is correct. I'd like to note that over 800 civilians died  under the 116 bombings (the first on may 28th 1943) by the allied forces  and 70% of the buildings were severly damaged (over 20% totally destroyed).  Greetings, from Livorno  Shezarainbow 16:27, 21 July 2005 (UTC)

message: I completely agree with the above post. Livorno has been one of the most damaged cities during the WWII bombings.
I thinks there should be a clear paragraph or phrase about this.(Madmats (talk) 00:54, 1 November 2009 (UTC)

message: Leghorn is shown as the archaic English name for Livorno in this article.  Roughly when did speakers of English move away from using Leghorn?  Thanks! LewPotT 22:05, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: Wikipedia uses whatever is the WP:COMMONNAME in WP:ENGLISH - which these days would be Livorno IME. Incidentally, my Shorter OED dates the derivation of Leghorn from Legorno (Genoese name?) to the 16-17th century. It certainly "feels" more archaic than say using Peking for Beijing, I suspect WWII saw a change? FlagSteward (talk) 18:39, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

replies: text: The Oxford Dictionary of the World, OUP, 1995, uses Leghorn, and in my experience this remains the normal English name. DuncanHill (talk) 22:12, 17 May 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Leghorn is now considered antiquated. As a port it is internatiopnally referred to as Livorno. I think you will have problems booking a sea passage to Leghorn in this day and age.  Giacomo  12:24, 18 May 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: PS: I don't like the google test, but it's interesting to note that "sail to Leghorn" gets 62,000 results (which at a glance appear to be historical) while "sail to Livorno" gets 131,000 results mostly modern. As I say that doesn't prove anything, but Leghorn really is old fashioned.  Giacomo  12:29, 18 May 2010 (UTC)

message: There should be something here about the English speaking population - I believe there is an english cemetery. Gustav von Humpelschmumpel 13:59, 21 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Indeed. There are 2 english cemetery. "Cimitero Inglese" in "Via Verdi" is the oldest; the one in "Via Pera" is the other. Some famous people (but not too much) are buried in these cemetery.    15:15, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

message: The IPA pronunciation given for Leghorn looked very wrong to me, and I have corrected it according to the entry for Leghorn in the Oxford Dictionary of the World, OUP, 1995. DuncanHill (talk) 22:14, 17 May 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Pronunciation of Leghorn 

message: I note that "Leghorn" redirects here, but also has a link to the breed of chicken, probably best known as the model for cartoon character Foghorn Leghorn. Leghorn is also, however, a term for fine plaited straw and (by extension) hats made of such; I'm wondering if: (a) that doesn't deserve some kind of reference; (b) it's best to let it fade away into the mists of textiles/millinery; or (c) it should be left to Wiktionary if resurrected at all.  What say others? —PaperTruths (Talk) 01:08, 26 June 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Never mind, I found where that would go in "Culture", alongside the chicken bit. —PaperTruths (Talk) 01:10, 26 June 2010 (UTC)

message: I know the result of the move debate was not to move the article to Leghorn, but according to Google Ngrams, Leghorn is still more common.

replies: text: Yep, you can prove anything with faulty statistics. Looks like you forgot to exclude the chicken breed, the cartoon character, the battle etc. Try something like this instead. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 00:29, 26 January 2012 (UTC)

message: Surely the article should say that Jews started arriving in the late 15th century, not 16th, as this law was passed in 1492, no? - Eponymous-Archon (talk) 07:50, 3 November 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: As far as I know, the building of a Jewish presence in Livorno is connected not to the expulsion of Jews from Spain in 1492, which is what I believe you are referring to, but to the explicit commerce rights that were granted to them by the Medici Duke in power at the end of the 16th century, I will get his name/link directly in a little while. warshy (¥¥) 19:13, 3 November 2019 (UTC)
