Gavi is a tiny island in the Tyrrhenian Sea off the west coast of Italy. With a length of about 700 metres, it is the smallest of the Pontine Islands and is located 120 metres off the north shore of Ponza. The island is quite rugged and uninhabited by humans. It has been dedicated as a wildlife refuge and is home to a variety of lizard which is found only here, as well as to mice, rabbits and scorpions.
