| Island
of Elba Campo nell' Elba (Isola
d'elba)
From a touristic point of view, Marina di
Campo is the most important settlement and from here you
can get to some of Elbas' most beautiful beaches. It is
the ideal resort for lovers of worldly pleasures and night-life
that preserves very little of the ancient aspect of a fisher-man
village, almost as if a piece of the Adriatic Riviera had
been brought to the Tuscan Archipelago,. The low and spread
vegetation has left much space for cultivation and it is
actually here that you find most of Elba's vineyards that
render quite good wines, especially white ones.
The village' most ancient core has remained
almost untouched in the area behind the harbor and where
the round Pisan tower raises, now the property of the navy,
and where some typical fishermen houses are kept.
While visiting the commune Campo nell'Elba one should at
least stop along the road for Procchio at the San Mamiliano
church, where you find relic of the Saint that died at Montecristo
in 460.
As you reach the residence at Caboli, a
narrow and winding road takes you to a rather particular
place called "La Nave" (The ship) by the locals.
What they mean is an about 4 meters long granite block with
a very characteristic shape that makes you perceive a stem
and stern profile. At Segagnana, the discothèque
at Hotel Marina 2000 has been transformed into the Acquarium
of Elba and hosts flora and fauna typical for the island
as well as the Faunal Museum. Both Sant'Ilario and San Piero
in Campo, near Campo nell'Elba, are worth visiting. You
get to the first from the fork La Pila, just outside Marina
di Campo and it is one of the most charming and fascinating
villages on the island, where a panoramic walk culminates
in the small square that is dominated by the church built
by the Appianies in the 16:th century. San Piero in Campo
instead, is located on the slopes of Mount Perone. Its origins
date back to the Roman era when the settlement was brought
up on a large granitic base. Today, ruins of fortifications
and bastions from the ancient Pisan fortress that defended
the granite caves, remains and the Belvedere Bastion, built
by the Appianies, is well preserved.
Continuing from Sant'Ilario along the slopes
of the mountain you find a solemn Pisan tower where the
river Volterraio and the channel Piombino run, while in
its vicinity the Roman parish church San Giovanni is hidden,
nowadays reduced to a ruin that though emits a magnetic
charm as it is surrounded by bush, and the Hermitage di
San Francesco, just as charming and full of atmosphere.
