San Venerio Lighthouse, Maritime lighthouse on Tino island, Porto Venere, Italy.
The San Venerio Lighthouse features a cylindrical masonry tower in white with a grey lantern dome reaching 24 meters into the sky.
Construction of the lighthouse began in 1839 and concluded in 1840, initially using vegetable oil before transitioning to coal and later electrical power.
The lighthouse bears the name of Saint Venerius, a hermit from Palmaria island who became the patron saint of lighthouse keepers in 1961.
The automated lighthouse operates under Marina Militare control from La Spezia, employing AL 1000 W main lights and MBR-300L LED reserve systems.
During the annual September 13 feast, boats transport Saint Venerius statue from La Spezia to Tino island for maritime vessel blessings.
