A few miles from Elba and the other islands of the Tuscan archipelago, nestled on a stretch of coast full of charm and beauty, in the center of the Gulf of Follonica.

Gravel riding

In the late 1940s, a short distance from the nearby Torre Mozza, the Carbonifera landing stage operated. It was built to load lignite extracted from Montebamboli, which reached the sea thanks to the railway. To allow loading, a jetty was built where wagons arrived by gravity. The railway was closed at the beginning of the 1900s, and the infrastructure serving the mine met the same fate.
