Capo Grosso Lighthouse
Focal length: 400 mm
Capo Grosso Lighthouse (Faro di Capo Grosso) is an active lighthouse on the Levanzo Island placed at the extremity of Capo Grosso, the northernmost point of the Island.
Description
The lighthouse was built in 1858 in concrete and has a cylindrical shape with balcony and lantern atop a 1-storey keeper's house. The tower is 12 metres (39 ft) high and the lantern is positioned at a height of 68 metres (223 ft) above sea level. The light is fully automated and operated by Marina Militare identified by the Country code number 3120.3 E.F. The lighthouse has a solar power unit and emits an alternating three white flashes in a fifteen seconds period visible up to 11 nautical miles (20 km; 13 mi).[2]
The keeper's house is no longer inhabited and it is in ruin; on October 12, 2015, the Agenzia del Demanio, who run the State ownership buildings, decided to give it in concession to private.[3] The lighthouse has been awarded to a company that deals with investments in the Hotel sector with the intention of transforming the keeper's house in a six-room resort.[4]
