Pianosa lighthouse, Maritime navigation tower on Pianosa Island, Tuscany, Italy
The 19-meter white cylindrical tower rises from a two-story building, projecting two white flashes every 10 seconds across the Tyrrhenian Sea.
The Marina Militare first activated this navigational structure in October 1865, establishing a crucial maritime reference point in the Tuscan Archipelago.
The lighthouse stands near the archaeological remains of Villa Agrippa, where Emperor Augustus exiled his grandson in the Roman period.
The lighthouse functions with mains electricity and maintains a focal height of 42 meters above sea level, visible up to 16 nautical miles.
Access to the lighthouse area requires special permission due to Pianosa Island's status as a protected marine reserve since 1996.
