Santo  Stefano  (Pontine)​

The island of Santo Stefano belongs to the Pontine island group ('Isole Pontine" in Italian), part of the Province of Latina. 

Measuring just 400 metres from one side to the other, it was once a penal colony but is now completely uninhabited. The main sight on the island is the abandoned prison which can be visited by taking an excursion from the neighbouring island of Ventotene.
