This puzzle is based on Where is it? - The Google Earth Challenge series started by Conifers

This puzzle will provide a screenshot in somewhere on Google Earth, please try your best to identify where the location is. The reasons to find out the location should be part of your answer. The accepted answer will be the one which will explain the title of the question.

Will give a zoom-in image as the next hint if not be answered yet for a while.

Note: It's not recommended to use Google Search by Image function directly; try to use any feature on pixels or your geography knowledge to derive the location.

    $\begingroup$ Huh. Pʀıncess Anaya posted an answer below and self-deleted it. I assumed she deleted the answer because it was wrong, so I didn't even check and went hunting for other things of the same type. Turns out, her answer is actually right! But now I don't want to post it and steal her credit. Voting to undelete her answer. $\endgroup$

This place is

Isola del Giglio, Italy: On 13 January 2012, the Italian cruise ship Costa Concordia ran aground and overturned after striking an underwater rock off Isola del Giglio, Tuscany, resulting in 32 deaths.

Reason can be to be known as dangerous flower that Giglio means "Lily" (flower) in Italian.

OP EDIT: This is a close up image of the place:

costa concordia

    $\begingroup$ You're looking in the wrong place ... it's not Genoa. Check that location on Google Maps and you will see the same image :-) $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ @jarnbjo Isola del Giglio was a dangerous flower for Costa Concordia. It is known for one of the biggest disaster that is why it is dangerous. $\endgroup$

I think this location is in:

Italy - Liguria - Genoa https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metropolitan_City_of_Genoa#/media/File:Aerial_view_-_Harbour_of_Genoa,Italy-_DSC01156.JPG

Was here on holiday a few years back, not sure the flower part yet

    $\begingroup$ Not the right place. (PS: Actually Genoa is in Liguria, not in Tuscany) $\endgroup$
