Viareggio harbor Master’s Office was born on 18th August 1908
Thanks to maria Luisa di Borbone who had the dock of the port of Viareggio built
in 1819 thanks to desire to expand the shipyards
In 1908 the governement understood that the port of Viareggio was and could become
a point of reference for shipbuilding and welcoming boat to sail the Mediterranean
On January 1, 1909 the celebration was scheluded with the governement and local
authorities but due of the earthquake of december 28, 1908 in Sicily, the money allocated
was donated to the families affected by the earthquake in difficulty
Later, the Port Authority of Viareggio was established and designated as a port office
with jurisdiction up to Pisa
In addition the port offices of Forte dei marmi Marina di massa and Marina di carrara went under
his control
