The next lighthouse of the Five Lighthouses Regatta is Punta Cavazzi. If you will look at the map again:
you will see that Punta Cavazzi is one of the two lighthouses on the island of Ustica. Apparently it is a great place for snorkeling and diving in very clear waters.
Now, the Lighthouse Directory, which I think is great, apparently has a typo for this one, because it has it listed as "Punta Gavazzi". Since there are only two lighthouses on Ustica and this is one of them, it's the same one. So we can trust the stats:
"1885. Active; focal plane 40 m (131 ft); four white flashes every 12 s. 28 m (92 ft) tower with lantern and gallery, attached to a 1-story keeper's house. The lighthouse appears to be covered with unpainted white concrete panels; lantern dome is gray metallic."Below are four pictures of this one.
