The Beauty of Nature in Italy
Asinara National Park is located on Asinara the second largest island in Sardinia. It is an amazing paradise with lots of untouched beaches and the water is crystal clear and sparkling. As lovely as this sounds this island was once known as ”Devil’s Island”. This was due to the fact that at one time it was a quarantine camp during WWI and became a high-security prison in the 1970s and 1980s.
