Tuscany is one of the best loved destinations for both Italians and foreigners. Florence, Pisa, Lucca, Livorno and other towns are well known and certainly worth a visit, but those who want to discover the authentic countryside, symbol of ancient tradition and history, and home to the Tuscan farmers’ lifestyle, should visit the Maremma grossetana.
The Maremma Grossetana, also known simply as Maremma, is a vast geographical area that goes from the Northern part of Lazio to the Southern part of Tuscany, and includes the province of Grosseto. This area is the most famous part of the Maremma, a term which is typically associated with it: if you ask an Italian where Maremma is, they will certainly refer to the area surrounding Grosseto and the nearby towns, reason for which it is usually capitalized as a proper noun.
