Tino is an Italian island situated in the Ligurian Sea, at the westernmost end of the Gulf of La Spezia.
It is part of an archipelago of three closely spaced islands jutting out south from the mainland at Portovenere.
In 1997, the archipelago, together with Portovenere and the Cinque Terre, was designated by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site.
It is thought that a sanctuary was constructed at the place of Venerio's death to contain his remains and that this was extended to form a monastery in eleventh century.
Today the island, which is part of a military zone, is surmounted by the San Venerio Lighthouse.
