Sotheby's lists Italian island Punta Pennata for sale, facing local opposition aiming to preserve it.

Sotheby's has listed Italy's Punta Pennata, a 200 sq meter island in the Gulf of Pozzuoli known for its historical and natural significance, without disclosing the price. Local residents and their Mayor, Josi Della Ragione, oppose the sale, aiming to purchase the island to preserve it as a public park and protect its ancient Roman ruins. The mayor seeks funding from regional and national bodies to match any bids.
