way home I made a stop at the lighthouse at Punta Penna, the port of Vasto, often seen from afar. I quote from the fine book by Enrico Simonetti ( Lights and eclipses of the sea. lights of Italy, Laterza, Roma-Bari, 2005, p. 215): "the beacon light shines from Vasto to over 80 meters above the sea \u200b\u200blevel. The octagonal tower of the lighthouse sits on a two-story building on the pier tip pen, and his lantern has a powerful beam that rode for 25 miles. Built by the Civil Engineers in 1912, the lighthouse was rebuilt in 1950. " Here
