About

Santo Stefano (Italian: Isola di Santo Stefano) is an island in the Tyrrhenian Sea off the west coast of Italy, and part of the Pontine Islands. It is roughly circular, with a diameter of less than 400 metres (1,300 feet), and it is located 2 kilometres (1+1⁄4 miles) east of the nearby island of Ventotene. From 1797 to 1965, it was the site of the Santo Stefano Prison.
