"Where the sound of the sea and the wind act as music"
On the southernmost tip of the island of Giglio, when the southwest wind arrives, the Tyrrhenian Sea seems like an infinite ocean. The waves redesign the sea and transform it into that image of atypical beauty that is revealed when the fear of the unknown is combined with the amazement of a sublime nature. The Capel Rosso lighthouse has been witness to this magic for 140 years.
