Etruscan Tuscany, the area of Maremma, with its melancholic beauty, was formerly a marshy district haunted by bandits and shepherds.
Maremma, this is the Tuscany you didn’t expect and you would never have contemplated visiting.
While Italy’s famous areas are seemingly less Italy as we imagined it, here the feeling of dolce vita is still alive in the quaint medieval towns spotted all over.
They are like their own little world where everyone knows everyone and peace, good food and wine dominate. All in an unspoilt historic setting, taking you back to the Middle Ages or Renaissance. For others the Maremma is pure nature.
Maremma is a natural beauty of undiscovered wilderness. Add hundreds of km of coastline to national parks with amazing wild life, you get an image of what Maremma is.
This was the heartland of the Etruscans when they reached the Italian shores and remained so for the rest of their existence.
