Where to stay Italy and in particular Pisa has plenty of cheap accommodation and excellent hotels available here



History The origins of the Bridge Game date to February 1567. Much like Florence and Siena it is a local thing where all the cities quarters play off. The beef in Pisa was who had rights to the river Arno. It was originally a battle but today a push off will do.
