Steelworks defined Piombino for most of the twentieth century. The Ilva plant - later Lucchini, then acquired by Cevital in 2015 - occupied a vast stretch of the promontory's northern coast and at its peak employed thousands. With around 34,041 inhabitants, this Tuscan port town in the Province of Livorno now balances industrial legacy with ferry traffic: Piombino is the principal mainland departure point for Elba, with Toremar, Moby, and Blu Navy operating crossings of roughly one hour to Portoferraio. Piazza Bovio, built on a narrow promontory jutting into the Tyrrhenian Sea, offers open views across to Elba, Montecristo, and on clear days the northern tip of Corsica.
The old town retains a thirteenth-century Rivellino gateway, the Palazzo Comunale, and sections of wall built under the Appiani lords of Piombino, who governed the principality from 1399 until Napoleonic annexation in 1805. The Museo Archeologico del Territorio di Populonia documents the Etruscan settlement of Populonia, located about 15 km north along the coast, where necropolis tombs and metalworking sites date to the ninth century BC. Livorno lies approximately 80 km to the north along the SS1 or by regional rail, and Florence can be reached in under two hours via Campiglia Marittima junction.
