  • Ambito N°27 ISOLA D’ELBA
    QUADRO CONOSCITIVO Ambito n°27 ISOLA D’ELBA PROVINCE : Livorno TERRITORI APPARTENENTI AI COMUNI : Campo nell’Elba, Capoliveri, Capraia Isola, Marciana, Marciana Marina, Porto Azzurro, Portoferrraio, Rio Marina, Rio nell’Elba L’isola d’Elba – distante 10 km dal continente – misura 27 km da est a ovest, 18 da nord a sud; é fortemente montuosa, avendo solo il 6% del territorio in pianura I monti e le colline sono in 3 settori, separati da due valichi bassissimi. Da occidente verso oriente: il mas- siccio di M. Capanne (m. 1018), il settore centrale (m. S. Martino e M. Orello, m. 370 e 377) e la striscia prospiciente la costa conti- nentale: da nord a sud, M. Serra, 422 m. (Rio Marina), m. Castello, m. 516 (Porto Azzurro), m. Calamita, m. 413 (Capoliveri). Il settore di ponente è di rocce granitiche, il settore orientale di rocce scistose metamorfiche (ferrifere). L’idrografia è modestissima, date le dimensioni e la forma dell’isola (nessun punto del territorio arriva a distare 4 km dal mare). I mag- giori torrenti discendono dal M. Capanne, (rio di Pomonte, rio di Bovalico, con foce presso Marina di Campo). L’unico centro di una certa consistenza, e con una popolazione superiore ai 10.000 abitanti è Porto Ferraio IL SISTEMA DELLE COMUNICAZIONI Oggi esiste un anello di strade provinciali intorno all’isola (a parte il territorio di Capoliveri): Negli anni ’50 la costa occidentale e quella sud erano servite da mulattiere. Esiste a Marina di Campo un piccolo campo d’aviazione privato aperto al traffico turistico (pista di m.

    TUSCANY ARCHAEOLOGICAL ITINERARIES A Journey from Prehistory to the Roman Age ONCE UPON A TIME... That’s how fables start, once upon a time there was – what? A region bathed by the sea, with long beaches the colour of gold, rocky cliffs plunging into crystalline waters and many islands dotting the horizon. There was once a region cov- ered by rolling hills, where the sun lavished all the colours of the earth, where olive trees and grapevines still grow, ancient as the history of man, and where fortified towns and cities seem open-air museums. There was once a region with ver- dant plains watered by rivers and streams, surrounded by high mountains, monasteries, and forests stretching as far as the eye could see. There was, in a word, Tuscany, a region that has always been synonymous with beauty and nature, art and history, especially Medieval and Renaissance history, a land whose fame has spread the world over. And yet, if we stop to look closely, this region offers us many more treasures and new histories, the emotion aroused only by beauty. Because along with the most famous places, monuments and museums, we can glimpse a Tuscany that is even more ancient and just as wonderful, bear- ing witness not only to Roman and Etruscan times but even to prehistoric ages. Although this evidence is not as well known as the treasures that has always been famous, it is just as exciting to discover. This travel diary, ad- dressed to all lovers of Tuscany eager to explore its more hidden aspects, aims to bring us back in time to discover these jewels.

Offshore, west of the Island of Elba, magnetic and gravimetric data suggest the occurrence of N-S trending ridges that, for the very high magnetic susceptibility, have been interpreted as serpentinites, associated with other ophiolitic rocks (Eriksson and Savelli, 1989; Cassano et al., 2001; Caratori Tontini et al., 2004). Moving towards south in Tuscan domain, along N-S fault, there is clear evidence of off- shore gas seepage (mainly CH4), which can be related to recent extensional activity.

From Porto Azzurro, we will sail around Elba to Marciana Marina where we will spend Sunday night at the wall. On Monday, we stay in Marciana Marina and take a bus or taxi bus to Portoferraio to visit the house of Napoleon and the old city. On Tuesday we head towards the island of Capraia, where we will overnight in its beautiful little port, walk up to the old fortress that dominates the harbor and have dinner in a local restaurant. After a restful night, we will sail along the coast of Capraia and anchor for a swim at its southernmost point in the Cala del Moreto, then cross back to Elba and sail to the southern cost of the island where we will anchor out for the night in the small bay of Fetovaia. Plenty of swimming and snorkeling. We have the option of cooking on board or dinghy ashore to dine at a local restaurant.

Porto Livorno 2000 operates in the cruise ship and passenger sector in the port of Livorno. It offers a wide range of services where safety and efficiency are the guiding principles; it works in conjunction with local bodies to make the most of local tourist resources. Porto Livorno 2000 manages the Cruise Terminal, the Maritime Passenger Station, information services, car parks and transportation within the Port of Livorno. 5 6 Costa TOSCANA CRUISE The Tuscan Coast has always been an important crossroad for populations and cultures, so it is no surprise that it is a unique treasure trove that has long been famous. The beauty of the countryside and pristine beaches are unparalleled; the picture-postcard views of vineyards and cypresses, archaeological sites, medieval villages, monuments and museums, the gastronomic and wine producing traditions distinguish the entire area, from the hills to the sea, from the coast to the islands.
