Grosseto

The Grosseto Area - The area of Grosseto is also known as Maremma. Maremma has a long coastline with sandy beaches that are bordered by dunes decked with green bushes, flowers, and lush, thick pine groves. Its coastline is among the most beautiful and best known in the province. Here are isolated and completely untouched beaches

Grosseto
- This town is the center of the Maremma or Grosseto region. Its origins go back to the powerful Etruscan and Roman city of Roselle.

Pitigliano
- When you see Pitigliano, it's like looking at a fairy tale set in the Middle Ages. It sits atop jutting vertical sheer cliffs, which are covered with a thousand caves and tower-houses. Its heritage is the Pre-historic period, with its tombs discovered along the city wall and in the surrounding area. It has a famous Jewish ghetto known as  "Little Jerusalem" because of its large and active Jewish population since the year 1500.


Sovana - Sovana, 8 km north of Pitigliano, is now a village with little more than a single street running from the castle ruins to the cathedral.  It is in a beautiful position on a ridge located in the west of Grosseto province, on the border with the Lazio region. It  was once an important Etruscan settlement, and is well known as the birthplace of Pope Gregory VII.


RoselleAmong Roselle's attractions are an archaeological park, the Vetulonia Necropolis, and Poggio Pelliccia Funeral Mound, which lies a few kilometres from Ribolla and contains the remains of a monumental Etruscan grave.
