  Piombino - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Piombino is a town and commune in the province of Livorno (Tuscany), Italy, on the medium coast of Tyrrhenian sea, in front of Elba Island and at the northern side of Maremma.
In 1115 Piombino submitted to the Republic of Pisa, becoming its second main port: autority was exerted by a Capitano ("Captain").
After the Napoleon's final defeat and the congress of Vienna, the state of Piombino was annexed to the Grand Duchy of Tuscany.

 Piombino - History
Piombino, maritime town situated on the promontory of the same name, originates from an area formerly made up of many watercourses that, until some centuries ago, ran through the plain forming the Piombino Lake (or Monache Lake) and the Rimigliano Lake.
Piombino was ruled by the maritime republic of Pisa, which besides the Pisan port had the port of Falesia in Piombino.
The Castle of Piombino originates from the initial structure of the "Cassero Pisano" (13th century), the southern gate of the town.

 Autorità portuale Piombino - Menui   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
Governed by independent lords from 1399, in 1589 Piombino became a Principality ruled by the Appiani family, later to pass under the rule of the Ludovisi-Boncompagni dynasty.
Notwithstanding this lifelong industrial link, the geographical position of Piombino was soon to favour the growth of new routes - principally for passenger and car transit, though also for the movement of goods - to and from the Tuscan archipelago, Corsica and Sardinia.
Today the port of Piombino is present in many markets, actively involved in commercial traffic both national and international, with roll-on, roll-off ferrying of cars and lorries to Sardinia and the other islands, and a significantly large passenger traffic brought about by the development of tourism on the island of Elba.

The French having overrun Italy (see Italian Wars), Cesare, with his father's encouragement, subdued (1499-1500) the cities of the Romagna one by one.
Made duke of Romagna (1501) by the pope, Cesare also seized (1502) Piombino, Elba, Camerino, and the duchy of Urbino, and he crowned his achievements by artfully luring his chief enemies to the castle of Senigallia, where he had some of them strangled.
By killing his enemies, packing the college of cardinals, pushing his conquests as fast as possible, and buying the loyalty of the Roman gentry, he had hoped to make his position independent of the papacy, or at least to insure that the election of any future pope would be to his liking.
