Tuscany also has seven islands which all together form so-called Tuscan Archipelago (Arcipelago Toscano).
- Tuscan Folk Tales
About one third of Tuscany is hilly, one quarter is filled with mountains and the rest of the territory is plain.
Interesting fact:
The smallest island of the Tuscan Archipelago is Gorgona, and it is only about 2 square km. The access to the island for outsiders is very restricted. Its population is about 300 people.
There's a prison based on the island Gorgona, and it is set up as a working farm. The prisoners working on the farm support the whole island with their production.
Here is the view of Gorgona island when you look from Livorno.
