The Maremma is one of the most striking corners of Tuscany,
where hills map out the horizon and each stone, leaf and tree
tells a story three thousand years old. Wandering along the
pathways that meander through the countryside, between the
thermal waterfalls and veils of steam, traces left by history
can be made out: evocative Etruscan necropolises, elegant Roman
villas, mysterious medieval fortresses. The charm of the Maremma
is enriched by its livestock-raising traditions.
Montemerano
Securely positioned on a hill covered by age-old olives, its
historical centre is a classic example of a medieval town. The
town’s highest and oldest point, the castle, dominated by its
square keep, is surrounded by small squares, alley-ways and
houses that still emanate ancient splendour through traces of
frescoes and decorations on their façades. Near one of the town
gateways is set the church of San Giorgio, renovated between the
14th and 15th centuries and home to valuable works of art.
Manciano
The monumental fortress, built by the Sienese in the 15th
century, commands over the medieval part of town. The heart of
this agricultural centre offers ancient elliptic narrow
alley-ways with houses embellished with decorative motifs. The
Museo di Preistoria e Protostoria della Valle del Fiora displays
local finds.
Pitigliano
Pitigliano offers visitors a fairytale setting rising from a
promontory of striking and untamed beauty, surrounded by bright
green valleys. The Medicean aqueduct, the churches and the
houses seem have been conjured up onto the spur of tufa
overhanging the valley of the Lente and Meleta rivers.
Pitigliano’s magic can be savoured by taking in the historical
centre, strolling through the narrow and picturesque streets,
exploring the caves and Etruscan tombs that today serve as
cellars, continuing up to the Jewish Ghetto whose fame was to
lend Pitigliano the name of ‘Little Jerusalem’, with its
synagogue, library packed with ancient texts, cemetery and oven
for cooking unleavened bread.
Sorano
The ancient Etruscan town stands on a high summit that has
weathered to resemble a natural cliff and is surrounded by
impressive walls to make it one of the most secure defensive
systems in the county of Pitigliano. The lovely fortress
commands from on high, one of the most esteemed examples of
military architecture of the Italian Renaissance period. The
Orsini palace and the large Etruscan necropolis are also
recommended visiting.
Sovana
This was a important centre from Etruscan times and up to the
12th century. From the 1960s, improvement and restoration
projects have restored its particular evocative atmosphere. A
real architectural jewel is the cathedral, built in the 9th
century and modified between the 11th and 12th centuries.
