Lampedusa e Linosa

Province: Agrigento · Region: Sicily · Population: 6,105 · Postal code: 92031

Geographically anchored on the African plate, Lampedusa e Linosa functions as Italy’s southernmost municipality. The scattered commune governs the Pelagie archipelago, which consists of the two main islands alongside the small landmass of Lampione.

Situated roughly 260 kilometers southeast of Tunis and 220 kilometers from Agrigento, this maritime frontier supports a population of 6,105 residents. The substantial Mediterranean crossing required to reach the mainland strictly dictates the logistics of the territory.
