THE TRAFFIC LIGHT OF CAPO FIGARI
The Capo Figari Semaphore (Golfo Aranci) is the historic installation placed on top of the Capo Figari promontory at a height of about 340 meters. Its importance is linked not only to the history of navigation in Sardinia but also and above all to having been the site of the experiments of Guglielmo Marconi, historical developer of wireless telegraphy.

At sea between the Sardinian and Lazio coasts the laboratory ship Elettra was the bridge.
