Accona Desert is a semi-arid area in Tuscany, Italy, characterised by dome-shaped formations locally known as biancane. This characteristic clay, known as mattaione, represents the sediments of the Pliocene Sea, which covered the area between 2.5 and 4.5 million years ago. This bare and almost plant-less region has been called the Accona Desert since the middle ages.
