Questa micro-cache è facilmente accessibile anche da
diversamente abili. Dato che è posta in una zona molto trafficata
di Pisa, per favore, siate discreti. Rimettete la cache esattamente
dove l'avete trovata, per evitare che venga rubata!
Dopo esservi arrampicati sulla Torre, aver visitato il Duomo,
esservi mangiati una pizza ed aver trovato le altre caches pisane,
fatevi un giro anche in questo interessante luogo.
Si trova a pochi passi dalla Piazza dei Cavalieri, molto
interessante da visitare. Nella piazza è infatti presente il
Palazzo dei Cavalieri, costruito nel 1562 da Giorgio Vasari quale
sede dei Cavalieri di Santo Stefano. La statua nella piazza
rappresenta Cosimo I de' Medici (posta nel 1596), mentre la
facciata del Palazzo è interamente decorato da caratteristici
"graffiti" in bianco e nero.
Il Palazzo è attualmente sede della Scuola Normale Superiore,
fondata da Napoleone, dedicata ai corsi universitari di Filosofia,
Letteratura, Matematica, Scienze per studenti eccellenti.
Accanto al palazzo è presente la chiesa di Santo Stefano dei
Cavalieri. Costruita per l'ordine dei Cavalieri di Santo Stefano, è
stata disegnata anch'essa dal Vasari, e completata nel 1569. La
facciata è stata costruita da Giovanni de' Medici e completata nel
1606.
Dopo aver ammirato la piazza, è ora di cercare la cache. E' una
piccolissima scatola magnetica di sfogline per l'alito, pitturata
di nero e di 5x2x1 cm di dimensioni. Contiene solo il logbook,
quindi dovete portare con voi una penna.
In bocca al lupo!
Nota La cache è stata messa originariamente da
Jessex, e mantenuta da SamPisa per circa due anni. Dopo questo
periodo, Jessex ha deciso di lasciare definitivamente la cache a
SamPisa, che l'ha adottata dal 2007. Grazie a Jessex per la
cache.
This micro-cache is easily accessible and is
wheelchair friendly. It is located in a busy area of Pisa so please
be discreet. Replace the cache exactly how you found it so we can
keep this cache alive!
After you've climbed the Tower, visited the Duomo, had a pizza and
found the other Pisa caches come to this interesting area for our
cache.
It is close to the Piazza dei Cavalieri so do have a look at this
famous square. Here you will find the Palazzo dei Cavalieri which
was built in 1562 by Giorgio Vasari as headquarters of the Knights
of St Stephan. The large building is decorated with Medici busts
and with black and white "graffito" that was scratched into wet
plaster. Napoleon founded the Scuola Normale Superiore, the
University of Literature, Philosophy, Mathematics and Science that
is still here.
Alongside the palace is the church San Stefano dei Cavalieri. Built
for the Knights of St Stephan order, it was also designed by
Giorgio Vasari and completed in 1569. The facade was built by
Giovanni de' Medici and completed in 1606.
After admiring the piazza, it's time to find the cache. It is a
very small breath strip container painted black measuring
2"x1"X1/2" It contains only a logsheet, so bring a pen with
you.
Good Luck!
Note The cache was originally put in place by Jessex;
after two years, he decided to leave its administration to SamPisa,
that maintained the cache on his behalf. Thanks to Jessex for the
cache.

We did this one on the way from the Central Station to the Tower. It was an easy find and we really enjoyed this square, which we might not have found without Geocaching. I had been told that Pisa was not so nice, but that was wrong - we really liked it. TFTC and a chance to keep Mrs JF away from the shops...!
