Capitan Sanvinsente's colony

It was Bernardo Maria Sanvinsente, the captain of the Bourbon marina frigate, who colonised the Linosa island. On 25^th April 1845, a group comprised of families of skilled craftsmen from Ustica, Agrigento And Pantelleria (including a deputy mayor, a priest and a physician) landed on the island.

Eleven kilometres of coastline in which beaches and coves follow on from one another, frames a wild land marked by ancient craters. The biggest, the Fossa del Cappellano, in the centre of Linosa, has a diameter of 600 metres and is intensively cultivated by its inhabitants. Crowning the island is the Monte Rosso, Monte Nero and Monte Vulcano.

Not to be missed is the Piscine beach, a series of seawater baths and the Secchitella, with a backdrop of around 25 metres that offers the view of a sunken wreck from which archaeological treasures emerge.

Linosa is, in fact, a point of attraction for diving enthusiasts, who can count on any of the three diving clubs.

On 25^th February is the festival dedicated to San Gerlando, patron saint of the island, whilst on 19^th August the traditional Lentil food fair takes place.
