Torre di Rio - Santa Filomena area (Monte della Torre), Rio Marina, Elba Island, Livorno Province, Tuscany, Italy

(Torre di Rio - Santa Filomena (Monte della Torre), Rio Marina, Isola d'Elba, Livorno,Toscana, Italia)

Torre di Rio is the cliff immediately south of Rio Marina harbour, cut by the road (here for pedestrians only) leading to Porticciolo. Santa Filomena is a place besides the road, 40 m above the cliff. In some older references, this area is named "Monte della Torre": this is the hill above Santa Filomena.
The area forms part of the "Rio Marina Skarns", that are mainly composed of massive hedenbergite and ilvaite.
