It's called Mal-di-Ventre Island, which means "stomach ache"
The funny thing is, this is a mistranslation from Sardinian🤣
The real name "Maluentu" means "strong wind"🌬
Due to the strong winds, the island is covered with Mediterranean shrubs and low herbaceous vegetation🌿
⭐History

Established a republic, declared tax-free, later arrested and imprisoned in Sardinia
Currently, the owner of the island is a British man named John Miller
In July 2014, the island was put up for sale, asking price 100 million pounds💷
