The plain ends, the coast begins.
Pistoia is 105.8 km from the bay, eighty-one minutes of road: the A11 down to Pisa, the Fi-Pi-Li to Livorno, the Variante Aurelia south. Each stretch takes something away.
Four stretches, one destination.
From Pistoia you take the A11 towards Pisa, then the Fi-Pi-Li to Livorno, then the Variante Aurelia southbound and the exit for Castiglioncello. 105.8 km, eighty-one minutes.
It is a route that changes character as it goes: the nursery gardens around Pistoia, the Arno plain, the outskirts of Livorno, and finally the coast road down to the bay.
A drive that announces the wedding.
Pistoia is a city of stone, porticoes and a plain that stretches to the horizon. Marrying on the coast means the day starts inland and ends with water in front of the ceremony, and guests feel the change as they drive.
That is the point of choosing a venue this far out: nobody arrives by accident. The journey is part of the decision, and the day is arranged so it is made once — ceremony, dinner and party all stay in the same place.
What you pass on the way.
Almost the whole route is dual carriageway; the time given is driving time, not an estimate with stops.
Read before you set off.
Eighty-one minutes, and the plain is already behind you.
