The name comes from the use, in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, of the river banks as beaches equipped with bagnetti, small wooden constructions used for undressing and wearing swimwear. From ponte della Vittoria, a post-war construction that replaced the original dated 1934 (collapsed shortly after the inauguration), there is a real river park, with cafes and spaces for leisure and wellness, about 2 kilometres long. In 1852, the Politeama Theatre was inaugurated here. Unfortunately destroyed during the Second World War, was replaced by the Palazzo dei Congressi of Pisa.
Richard-Ginori: from 1784 the Piagge area was well known in the city for the production of ceramics and glass, given the presence of the Palme factory, which was purchased by Augusto Richard in 1887. After the merger with the Ginori factory in Doccia, Sesto Fiorentino, the complex took the name of Richard-Ginori.

Amarcord: on the wall that runs along the river, on the other side of the avenue, near the church, we can read the following words:

Associazione Culturale
del Buon Custodimento e Svago
I ragazzi del muretto 'sempr’allegri e mai ’ontenti'
Le Piagge 28/11/2001

The plaque was placed here in memory of the time spent together by the inhabitants of Porta a Piagge, a group of friends who still meet to remember when as children they played in the monastery field, or in the park.
