Arcipelago toscano.
When Venus arose out of the sea, seven pearls fell
from her necklace and these formed the Tuscan Archipelago.
This legend persists, because the Tuscan islands are
seven fragments of paradise.
Elba, the largest, is a microcosm offering endless
opportunities to visitors wishing to enjoy a holiday
surrounded by nature, but also steeped in history
and culture, with good food and wine and mineralogy.
Coastlines which are never the same, where enchanting
beaches alternate with majestic cliffs, but also gentle
countryside and shady woods of centuries-old chestnut
and oak trees.
It is an island with a fascinating past: its history
tells the story of prehistoric inhabitants, iron mines
which made the Etruscans rich, then the Romans, pirate
attacks, bloody battles and, in more recent history,
the exile of Napoleon, who left an important mark
on his tiny island kingdom.
Capraia enchants visitors with its untamed beauty:
a stretch of fragrant Mediterranean brush in a clear
blue sea, a genuine paradise for lovers of sports
and nature photography.
