monte argentario holidays

In ancient times Monte Argentario was called Promontory Cosano because it belonged to the Roman city of Cosa, the ruins of which now lay on the hill of Ansedonia. Originally Monte Argentario was an island. As time passed however, the continuous transfer of debris by rivers and sea currents, joined the island to the Tyrrhenian coast by two land belts called tomboli (sand-and-gravel bar), tombolo of Feniglia and tombolo of Giannella. These two strips of land created a favorable environment for the birth of the lagoon of Orbetello, which is located between the two "tomboli".
