The story takes place in France, Italy, and islands in the Mediterranean during the historical events of 1815–1839. The Island of Montecristo, formerly known as Oglasa, is one of the wildest and most inaccessible islands of the National Park of the Tuscan Archipelago. To preserve its unique nature, it has been designated a State Integral Nature Reserve by ministerial decree on March 4, 1971, and a Biogenetic Nature Reserve recognized by the Council of Europe since 1988. Today, Montecristo is virtually uninhabited, except for a few rangers from the Italian Forest Corps. However, until the 16th century, it was home to a monastic community, with remnants of the ancient abbey and the Monastery of San Mamiliano still visible in an area known as "Il Convento". Also still visible is the cave where legend says the saint lived. The only existing building currently on the island, inhabited by the park ranger, is the Villa Reale at Cala Maestra, built by its former owner, the Englishman George Watson-Taylor, and now housing a small Natural History Museum.
