Punta Ala is a frazione of the town of Castiglione della Pescaia, in the province of Grosseto, Tuscany. It is a famous seaside resort which lies at the bottom of the northern hillsides of the promontory of the same name.
Previously known as Punta Troia, changed its name to Punta Ala (from aviation jargon[further explanation needed]) after the great Italian aviator Italo Balbo, who had purchased some fortifications and villas in the area which later became his residences.
