Parks
and NatureNational
Park of the Tuscan Archipelago.
The seven islands that make up the park are, for one
myth, jewels that fell from Venus' necklace into the
sea.
The largest and most populated are Giglio and, especially
Elba, an authentic mineralogical paradise: specimens
of its 150 varieties can be found in natural science
museums all over the world.
Pianosa and Montecristo are instead the islands of
silence, uninhabited atolls of a secluded Tuscany.
Capraia is a treasure chest of volcanic rock, while
Giannutri and Gorgona are little more than splendid
rocks surrounded, like the others, by a sea that abounds
in life.
