While John Milton wrote about Paradise Lost, if he’d been to the island of Pianosa he’d likely have been talking about paradise found. Pianosa is not just a beautiful island but a unique one–singular in its history and location. Visitors to Pianosa have the opportunity to discover the many wonderful aspects of this special place as well as a chance to explore the untainted nature of this part of the world.
Pianosa is a small land mass that originally emerged from an undersea ridge. It is the fifth largest island of the Tuscan archipelago with a surface area of 10.3 kilometers squared and a coastal perimeter of about 18 kilometers. It is 13 kilometers South-West from Elba, the island made famous by Napoleon. The name Pianosa gives a clue as to the island’s geography. Piana refers to the island’s flat plains: its highest point is 29 meters.
