The Island of Elba, which is part of the Sistema Museale dell’Arcipelago Toscano (S.M.A.R.T.), has facilities that offer heterogeneous historical-artistic and cultural experiences: parks, museums, archaeological sites, ancient fortresses and mines, which together tell of places inhabited and frequented since ancient times. Places where stories of Etruscans, Romans, and fierce pirates are intertwined with those of illustrious frequenters-from Cosimo de’ Medici to Napoleon to Sandro Pertini.
