Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: PER-PIG
PIANOSA (anc. Planasia) , an
island
  of Italy, belonging to the province of Leghorn, and forming
part
  of the communeof Marciana (Elba), from which it is 71 m. S.W. Pop. (1881), 774. As its name indicates, it is quite flat, and the highest point is only 95 ft. above sea-level. Its area is 6 sq. m.
Augustus
  banished to it his grandson,
Agrippa
  Postumus, and some ruins of baths near the harbour still
bear
  his name. It changed hands more than once in the wars between Pisa and Genoa in the 12th and 13th centuries; from 1390 it belonged to the prince of Piombino, but was depopulated in 1553 by the Turkish
fleet
 , and only resettled at the beginning of the 19th
century
 . In 1857 a penal colony was established here.
