Isle of Giglio

Local nameIsola del Giglio
LocationGrosseto, Italy

Isola del Giglio, or Giglio Island in English, is an Italian island and comune in the Tyrrhenian Sea, off the coast of Tuscany, and is part of the Province of Grosseto. The island is one of seven that form the Tuscan Archipelago, lying within the Arcipelago Toscano National Park. Giglio means "lily" in Italian, and though the name would appear consistent with the insignia of Medici Florence, it originally derives from the Latin name of the island, Igilium, which in turn could be related to the Ancient Greek name of the neighbouring Capraia, Αἰγύλιον, from αἴξ aíx "goat".In 2012, the cruise ship Costa Concordia foundered off the coast of the island.
