WITH ITS ANCIENT MINES OF ETRUSCAN ORIGIN
The name of Elba, which for the Etruscans was Ilva, means iron and whoever had this metal at that time could dominate the people, so much so that the Romans and the Etruscans went to war in 250 BC for the dominion of the Elban mines. The success of the Romans determined the end of the Etruscans and Rome drew an abundance of weapons from the ferrous resources to dominate the world. However, the real exploitation occurred in the modern era, especially when the steel industry with the blast furnaces of Portoferraio.
