| Island
of Elba Capoliveri (Isola d'elba)
 Absolutely enchanting, Capoliveri preserves
an almost medieval atmosphere in its architecture, sober
at the same time as graceful and elegant. It is located
in the southern parts of the island, in the heart of Elba's
mining area, between the iron mines at Mount Calamita and
Mount Ginevro. From Capoliveri's panoramic point you can
enjoy a superb view over the gulfs Lacona and di Campo,
at the foot of a wild headland covered with bush, agaves
and prickly pears.
The coasts of Capoliveri are some of the
most beautiful on the island, with overhanging cliffs, visited
by thousands of sea-gulls, and small bays with crystal-clear
water.
In its surroundings you can visit the charming ruins of
the San Michele church, immerged in the vegetation, the
Focardo Fortress that raises to guard the Longone Gulf,
the sanctuaries of the Madonna delle Grazie and of the Madonna
della neve, located on splendid panoramic hillocks.
Villa Foresi as well is worth a visit.
Located in the center of the Lacona Plain, it was built
by Raffaello Foresi and surounded by a secular eucalyptus
wood. Today, the villa is part of a farm that allows you
to visit the vineyards and the cellars. Every year on
the 14:th of July, the Festa dell'Innamorata (Sweetheart
feast) is held at Capoliveri. Do not miss it if you are
around at that time.
