About this site
Punta dell'Arco sits on Ventotene, a small volcanic island in the Pontine archipelago off the coast of Lazio, southwest of Rome. The point takes its name from a natural arch formation along this stretch of coastline, an area shaped by the volcanic origins of Ventotene and its neighboring islands.
