Formiche di Grosseto lighthouse, Maritime navigation lighthouse on Formica Grande islet, Tuscany, Italy.
The cylindrical white lighthouse rises 12 meters above a one-story keeper's house on the largest of three skerries in the Tyrrhenian Sea.
The lighthouse was built in 1901 by the Royal Italian Navy and underwent a significant restoration project in 1919 to improve its maritime safety capabilities.
The structure represents a testament to Italian maritime engineering, standing as one of eleven lighthouses selected for state concession programs in the Tuscan archipelago.
The automated lighthouse emits white flashes every six seconds, visible from 11 nautical miles away, using solar power for continuous operation without keepers.
The facility includes a 145-square-meter building space and a helipad, available for development through a 50-year concession for just one Euro.
