The first lighthouse was built in 1905 and consists of a white octagonal prism stone tower, 9 feet (2.7 m) high, with balcony and lantern, rising from a 2-storey white keeper's house. On November 8, 1987, a mysterious explosion damaged the lighthouse, but the keeper, Domenico Calabrese, was off duty and survived. The lighthouse remained inactive until the 1990s. when a new white cylindrical fibreglass tower, 4 metres (13 ft) high, with light and gallery was established. The lantern, positioned at 48 metres (157 ft) above sea level, emits three white flashes in a 10 seconds period, visible up to a distance of 11 nautical miles (20 km; 13 mi). The lighthouse is completely automated, powered by a solar unit and is managed by the Marina Militare with the identification code number 3844 E.F.[2][3][4]
