In the 13th century it was acquired again by the Aldobrandeschi, but later it passed to Pisa and then the Appiani of Piombino.Scarlino remained part of the Principality of Piombino until the early 19th century, when it became part of the Grand Duchy of Tuscany. In 1834, Scarlino became a frazione of Gavorrano. In 1960, it regained its status as a municipality.
