PIANOSA, a Sorrentine gozzo armed with Latin sail launched in the Aprea shipyards in the 1940s, served until the 1990s to supply food supplies to prisoners on the island of the same name in the Tuscan archipelago. In 2000 a new owner brought the boat back to Sorrento, her birthplace, where in the same Aprea Shipyard that had built her more than half a century earlier, a complete restoration was begun in full respect of her building origins. The entire restoration operation and the design of the initial sail plan were overseen by Studio Faggioni of La Spezia. After about two years of work in June 2003 the boat is back on the Marina Grande slipway ready for launching. In the same year it was declared by the Ministry of Cultural Heritage, a historic boat and part of Italy's historic and artistic heritage. In autumn 2022 PIANOSA finishes a major new refit, again in Nino Aprea's shipyard, before being offered for sale perfectly restored.
