According to a legend, some “pearls” fell down from the neck of a careless Venus in the Tyrrheanian Sea: this is how the islands of the Tuscan Archipelago were born.
One of these pearls is the island of Gorgona which, twenty miles off the coast, is still administratively part of Livorno proper.
For the few Gorgonesi and for the authorized visitors (the island is still an active penal colony), the ferry to Capraia is the only public transportation available.
