Lampedusa e Linosa, Mediterranean municipality in Pelagie Islands, Italy

The commune of Lampedusa e Linosa consists of three main islands: Lampedusa, Linosa, and Lampione, located in the southern part of Sicily region.

The territory remained uninhabited during medieval times until 1843, when King Ferdinand II of Bourbon initiated a colonization program to establish permanent settlements.

The residents of this Mediterranean municipality celebrate their patron saint, Maria Santissima di Porto Salvo, with traditional festivities every September 22nd.

The administrative center operates from Via Vittorio Emanuele in Lampedusa, managing both the natural reserves and the marine protected areas covering 4,000 hectares.

This southernmost Italian municipality sits closer to Tunisia than mainland Italy, with its territory encompassing protected marine zones and nature reserves.
