The little island of Pianosa lies in the Tyrrhenian Sea some 15km/9 mi southwest of Elba and 70km/43 mi west of the coast of Tuscany.
Access
Boat services from Livorno and Elba.
The island
As its name implies, Pianosa is relatively flat, nowhere rising more than 27m/89ft above sea- level. The island is built up from Muschelkalk formations and Quaternary deposits; much of it is devoted to agriculture (corn). There is a penal establishment on the island, which can be visited only with a special permit from the Ministry of the Interior.
