“In the Maremma of my Tuscany, in the uncultivated land that is distributed to the farmers, to be able to sow you must first break the crust of stony tufa deposited there by two millennia of flooding; to break it you need tractors: and only in this way, under that crust, will you find fertile and fresh land, and in it, still intact, the tombs of our Etruscan fathers. Throughout Italy, it is necessary to break this crust of traditional feudalism and inert bureaucratic conformism that suffocates our society in the same way: and to find under the broken crust people who are alive, healthy people, fertile, the true people of our country: and the traditions of wise and humane equity that it has preserved for millennia”.<\/p>

Welcome to\u00a0Maremma<\/strong>, a land whose\u00a0uniqueness<\/strong>\u00a0is the variety of its\u00a0landscape<\/strong>, a perfect microcosm stretching between the provinces of\u00a0Livorno<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0Grosseto<\/strong>. Still wild and unspoilt in places, it is of great natural interest and rich in\u00a0history, culture and traditions<\/strong>. From the Grosseto coast, it goes into the hinterland of Tuscany, leading us to discover a\u00a0majestic<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0lush<\/strong>\u00a0land that is home to\u00a0ancient villages, Etruscan towns, castles and fortresses<\/strong>.\u00a0The Maremma is a dream destination, the ideal holiday resort for nature lovers:\u00a0crystal-clear sea<\/strong>, long\u00a0beaches<\/strong>\u00a0and rugged cliffs,\u00a0mountains<\/strong>\u00a0covered in dense forests, lake and flat areas,\u00a0cultivated hills<\/strong> and\u00a0natural spas<\/strong>. Its roots go back to ancient civilisations. The\u00a0Etruscans<\/strong>\u00a0and later the\u00a0Romans<\/strong>\u00a0prospered here for centuries, leaving valuable evidence of their presence, such as\u00a0Populonia<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0Roselle<\/strong>, and other important finds throughout the area. In the Middle Ages, the\u00a0Aldobrandeschi<\/strong> family\u00a0left behind towers, castles and\u00a0fortified villages<\/strong>\u00a0such as\u00a0Santa Fiora and Sovana<\/strong>. The\u00a0Medici<\/strong>, and later the\u00a0Lorena<\/strong>, also lived in these lands as demonstrated by the imposing Medici walls of\u00a0Grosseto<\/strong>\u00a0which, together with Orbetello<\/strong>,\u00a0Follonica<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0Castiglione della Pescaia<\/strong>, are the main towns in this area connected to the south by the\u00a0promontory<\/strong> of\u00a0Ansedonia<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0Capalbio<\/strong>. The Maremma is also famous for the\u00a0Tufa Archaeological Park<\/strong>, an extraordinary landscape that once hosted Etruscan necropolises and in medieval times saw the birth of villages perched on high such as\u00a0Sorano<\/strong>,\u00a0Sovana<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0Pitigliano.<\/strong> The latter, the most famous and entirely cantilevered on the tufa rock, was inhabited for centuries by a large community of Jews who, having arrived here in the mid-1500s, integrated so well with the local population that many traditional kosher sweets and dishes have become typical products of Pitigliano.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

The symbol of the Maremma, a land of endless countryside and herds of cattle, is the\u00a0Buttero<\/strong>,\u00a0still considered the most skilled tamer of wild horses in Italy. We have seen him, in many films, running with his cattle through the streets of the Maremma, protected by his ‘pastrano’, a large cloak. The origins and essence of this figure are to be found in the wild Tuscany of the Etruscans. With the advent of the latifundium (large landed estates), the figure of the buttero<\/em> (cowboy) became central to the economy of the Maremma, but in the mid-19th century, with the gradual disappearance of the Tuscan latifundistas, it gradually declined until it became a folkloric tradition.
Monte Amiata<\/strong>, located between Siena and Grosseto, is the highest peak in the Maremma. Located\u00a01,738 metres<\/strong>\u00a0above sea level, it towers over the surrounding valleys like a gentle giant.\u00a0It is not a mountain, but an ancient dormant volcano, home to early Bronze and Iron Age civilisations. Although its rich mineral deposits and fertile land have been cultivated for centuries, its splendour has remained unchanged.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

In the Middle Ages, small towns sprang up here, fortified and equipped with high watchtowers, such as the villages of\u00a0Arcidosso<\/strong>,\u00a0Piancastagnaio<\/strong>,\u00a0Abbadia San Salvatore<\/strong>,\u00a0Santa Fiora<\/strong>,\u00a0Castel del Piano<\/strong>,\u00a0Castell Azzara<\/strong>,\u00a0Semproniano<\/strong> and\u00a0Seggiano<\/strong>. In summer there are green fields, carpets of wildflowers at the foot of the slopes; autumn also exerts its own charm when the colours are on fire, the fireplaces are lit and the scent of chestnuts wafts through the air; in winter the landscape is white with snow-covered fir trees. The Maremma offers much more than just a beautiful landscape, also offering many itineraries<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0events<\/strong>\u00a0depending on the season and the holiday or experience you are looking for. Its forests lend themselves to long walks and its slopes are ideal for winter skiing. The protected reserves and nature parks in this land preserve the local flora and fauna, making it unique.\u00a0The local small businesses are also unique, run by artisans, blacksmiths and carpenters who still base their work on ancient traditions, using techniques handed down from generation to generation. The Maremma is not only culture and landscape, but also a land rich in\u00a0native products<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0typical dishes<\/strong>\u00a0such as\u00a0acquacotta<\/strong><\/em>, to be savoured accompanied by a good glass of wine. The typical cuisine is based on recipes from the past, handmade with patience and dedication. The difference can be sensed in the aromas and flavours.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
