Elba
- See Village of Elba, New York and Town of Elba, New York for the locations in the United States.
Elba is an island in Tuscany, Italy, 20 km from the coastal town of Grosseto. It is the biggest island of the Tuscan Archipelago, and the third biggest Italian island. Elba and other islands of the Tuscan Archipelago (Pianosa, Capraia, Montecristo, Giglio and Giannutri) are protected in the National Park of the Tuscan Archipelago.
The island is divided into eight communes: the capital Portoferraio, Campo nell'Elba, Capoliveri, Marciana, Marciana Marina, Porto Azzurro, Rio Marina and Rio nell'Elba.
French emperor Napoleon Bonaparte was exiled to Elba when overthrown (the first time), inspiring the famous palindrome: "Able was I ere I saw Elba."
More recently, the island has become famed for its wine.
Apneist Jacques Mayol committed suicide here on December 22, 2001.
