    "The lighthouse at Capo Spartivento was built in 1854 by the Italian Navy and was one of twenty royal lighthouses built at the instigation of Victor Emmanuel II of Savoy, whose initials are still emblazoned in the wrought iron frieze above the entrance door.
    The building came under fire from American airmen during World War II and underwent its first and only restoration at the end of the war.
    The beacon keeper's family lived there until the '80s, when automation made the guard obsolete."

    Today there is a hotel in the lighthouse.
