Only Pisa could have a giant pigeon greeting its visitors. This was right outside the airport terminal, advertising some theatrical thing. Not sure I see the connection! There were also smaller pigeons perched on the seats. Of course they were fake, no droppings... but I decided to stand.
The Tower, Battistero and Cathedral were beautiful though. It costs a bomb to go up the Tower and you are not allowed to stop and stare, so to speak, so we gave it a miss. Piazza dei Miracoli has a very weird atmosphere... unworldly, almost. I hadn't been to Pisa for years (the airport doesn't count), and it was a nice little day out. We also found a great restaurant serving fish :)))
Considering it was a national holiday (Liberation Day), the place was surprisingly quiet, apart from the tourists. We didn't see any celebrations.
