Monte Argentario
Rome's Own Promontory
Portrait
Argentario is a mountain in the sea attached to Tuscany by three tomboli — sandbars enclosing lagoons full of flamingos — with two harbour towns, Porto Ercole and Porto Santo Stefano, on either side. It is where Rome comes for the weekend rather than where Milan comes for August, and the difference shows in the prices and the boats.
