about Piombino

Piombino is a town and commune in the province of Livorno (Tuscany), Italy, on the medium coast of Tyrrhenian Sea, in front of Elba Island and at the northern side of Maremma.
 
It has an ancient historical center, derived from the time in which it was the Etruscans' port, in the surroundings of Populonia.

The name Piombino derives almost certainly from Populino, meaning "Small Populonia", which the refugees gave to a small village where they had taken refuge after the city had been attacked by Greek pirates (9th century CE).

It is also probable that Piombino had already been founded during the Ostrogoth domination.

In the Middle Ages, it was instead an important port of Pisa's Republic.

Its hinterland hosts a considerable industrial area. Its port is still heavily used, both for industry and for tourism, with ferry-boats to Portoferraio (Elba) and ferries to Olbia (Sardinia).
