Lampedusa

It's a tiny island between Sicily and Tunisia. It has sea turtles, and tourists, and an immigrant reception centre.

You may've heard the name because of Giuseppe Tomasi di Lampedusa who wrote Il Gattopardo, which was made into the film The Leopard with Burt Lancaster in the title role. The novel traces the end of feudal society in Sicily, beginning with the coming of Garibaldi, and ending with the stuffed family dog being put out as rubbish.

I'm interested because of the layering - European tourists, African refugees / illegal immigrants / people, culture, history, conservation - all occuring in one small space.
