Rio Marina

Italy / Toscana / Rio Marina /
 town, municipality
The mines and the port in Rio Marina were used for extracting and transporting the iron mineral that, even today, with its sparkling reddish colour is typical of more or less the whole town; it is everywhere, on the walls of the houses, on the beaches, and even on the sea bed. www.infoelba.com/island-of-elba/territory-history/commu...
