Description

The lighthouse, built in 1935 by Genio civile, consists of a small quadrangular 1-storey equipment building, 6 metres (20 ft) high, of unpainted stone with the light placed on the roof. The light is positioned at 40 metres (130 ft) above sea level and emits two white flashes in a 10 seconds period visible up to a distance of 7 nautical miles (13 km; 8.1 mi). The lighthouse is completely automated, Tacconi was the last keeper,[3] powered by a solar unit and managed by the Marina Militare with the identification code number 3064 E.F.[2]

gollark: I'm trying and failing to design this new production area here nicely. I was going for splitting it into quarters with different types of wood in each, but as it turns out we don't actually have much different wood, and now I have no idea what to do with this.
gollark: This is boring.
gollark: Yes, it timed out, working now.
