Top Isola d'Elba Art & Culture

Once upon a time. . . there was an enchanted place of a timeless world, a magical land called Tuscany. Here the waves of the rolling hills, privileged custodians of mysteries of ancient peoples still present in daily gestures of its inhabitants, crashing gently into the sea of those Thirrenii where lustful Venus lost seven gems of her divine tiara... As scenery hatched by superior minds, blue sea and beautiful islands. Undisputed queen Fabricia, Elbe Island today, the one chosen by Jason and the Argonauts searching the Golden Fleece, for stop and resting. Porto Argo, Cosmopoli, Portoferraio: from a fisherman village to the capital of the Napoleon's ephemeral empire

The three Landmarks of Portoferraio are the Romans, the Medici and Napoleon. Your guide will be able to connect these grand periods during the tour. This is a complete cultural experience without many dates and names but a lot of anecdotes, curiosities and some dark details of The Medici family, that founded Cosmopoli (Portoferraio). The tour offers amazing photographic view points. During this walk you will be able to see the old town mounting and descending the pink stoned stairs, where you can see the 18th century Theatre, the XVI century barracks, the old bread factory and the churches of the White and Black Guelfi papal party.
