GROSSETO
Grosseto lies on the Tuscan coast of the area known as the Maremma. Although the name Maremma is most commonly associated with the vast, formerly marshy area made fit for habitation only during the past couple of hundred years, there is in fact a region known as the Alta Maremma high above the plains and with spectacular views from the hill top towns located there. The Alta Maremma is thickly wooded towards Siena (for example around Casal di Pari and Torniella) and somewhat rockier towards Roccatederighi where the steep descent to the plains begins. It is the agricultural capital of the Maremma and is known for its sun-ripened tomatoes, artichokes, mushrooms, spinach, olives and wild boar. Maremma is the coastal area of the province of Grosseto. Coastal areas of the Maremma are scarcely populated.
Places worth visit are:-
Museo Archeologico e d'Arte della Maremma - The archeological and art museum is housed in the former courthouse. The museum has a collection of 5,000 prehistoric, Etruscan and Roman relics.
Roselle Archeological Area - The city wall, remains of Etruscan houses and the Imperial age complex, with forum, stone streets and a well-preserved amphitheater are the perfect place to explore the city's glory.
