Isola del Giglio (Italian pronunciation: [ˈiːzola del ˈdʒiʎʎo]; Latin: Igilium), or Giglio Island in English, is an Italian island and comune (municipality) in the Tyrrhenian Sea, off the coast of Tuscany, and is part of the Province of Grosseto. The island is one of seven that form the Tuscan Archipelago, lying within the Arcipelago Toscano National Park. Giglio means "lily" in Italian, and though the name would appear consistent with the insignia of Medici Florence, it originally derives from the Latin name of the island, Igilium, which in turn could be related to the Ancient Greek name of the neighbouring Capraia, Αἰγύλιον (Aigýlion, Latinized as Aegilium),[3] from αἴξ aíx "goat".[citation needed]

In 2012, the cruise ship Costa Concordia foundered off the coast of the island.
