Populonia or Populonia Alta (Etruscan: Pupluna, Pufluna or Fufluna, all pronounced Fufluna; Latin: Populonium, Populonia, or Populonii) today is a frazione of the comune of Piombino (Tuscany, central Italy). As of 2009 its population was 17. Populonia is especially noteworthy for its Etruscan remains, including one of the main necropolis in Italy, discovered by Isidoro Falchi.
Modern Populonia is located within a small portion of the walled acropolis of a large ancient city, which covered the entire north end of Monte Massoncello, a promontory, its northern slopes down to the Bay of Baratti, and the shores of the bay, which was its port. The city was an industrial one, smelting copper ore brought from the Colline Metallifere, the "ore-bearing hills" inland, and iron ore from nearby Elba, in beehive blast furnaces. Over the thousand years of its life it came to cover the entire southern shore of the bay with slag, piling it over abandoned residences and cemeteries, until it lost its utility as a metals manufacturer. Then it was abandoned.

Si estende tra le pendici del promontorio di Piombino ed il Golfo di Baratti , dove sorgeva la città etrusca e romana di Populonia, nota fin dall'antichità per l'intensa attività metallurgica legata alla produzione del ferro. Comprende una parte significativa dell'abitato etrusco e romano di Populonia, con le sue vaste necropoli, le cave di calcarenite ed i quartieri industriali in cui si lavorava il minerale di ematite, proveniente dai giacimenti dell'isola d'Elba, per ricavare lingotti di ferro. Il parco è articolato in diverse aree di visita che permettono di cogliere la trasformazione del paesaggio nel corso dei secoli.

La Rocca di Populonia si trova in posizione panoramica nell'omonima frazione di Piombino e domina, da un'altura, il golfo di Baratti, la costa a nord di Piombino e il tratto di mare tra la terraferma e l'arcipelago toscano. Populonia è stata in antichità una delle più grandi ed importanti città etrusche e romane. L'antico abitato si trova in posizione dominante su di uno dei promontori che formano il golfo di Baratti e conserva fortificazioni del XV secolo ad opera dei Signori di Piombino, gli Appiani, come testimoniato dal dragone simbolo della casata posto sopra l'ingresso del borgo. In epoca romana lo storico latino Tito Livio ci informa che nel 205 a.C. Populonia fornì a Scipione l'Africano il ferro necessario per la spedizione in Africa, durante la seconda guerra Punica. Presso l'attu...

Tuscany is a region in Central Italy. It has an area of 22,990 square kilometres (8,880 sq mi) and a population of about 3.6 million inhabitants. The regional capital is Florence. Tuscany is known for its beautiful landscapes, its rich artistic legacy and vast influence on high culture.

Well I have been a lonely girl for so long I can’t see
why anyone would want a girl as lonely as me
See, I’ve been staying out and drinking booze
until memory’s obsolete
and I can’t even bare witness to
my own menagerie
until I wake up cold and sick
praying that I could undo what I did
even if I don’t know what that was at all
but please don’t judge me for in due time
I won’t bury my heart in hindsight
and may be he could love a lonely girl
Then I won’t wake up cold and sick
Instead I’ll remember the touch of his lips
and have him think I’ve really got it together
Because when I do I’m quite the joy
and he’d be such the lucky boy
to have found a girl as lonely as me
