The Tuscan Maremma, has been designed "European Rural District". Reading this page, you will have the opportunity to discover what this denomination means. For ages the Maremma was considered as a bitter place: harsh, marshy, full of contrasts, pleasant for animals, hostile for men. Many-sided land, with a mild climate, the Maremma is lapping by the sea which is hardly felt as a real presence by inhabitants. Native of the Maremma have always turned their back on the sea to seek refuge in the safeness of ground, of forest and of its cultivated lands. In the confident arms of their land, especially on the tops of hills, inhabitants of the Maremma have worked, draining marshes, building little towns which are works of art, always keeping up their traditions with the typical obstinacy of people who have always fight in life. You won't probably find this site particularly elaborate, refined or artificial but we hope you'll find in the same care as, once upon a time, housekeepers took in preparing things, in feeding their children, the same attention as the "massaia" had in ingratiating herself with the "fattore" or with the master.
