The Maremma is a vast coastal area included, according to the poet Dante Alighieri, between Cecina, Tuscany, and Tarquinia, north of Civitavecchia, in Lazio,
The name Maremma originates from the Latin maritima, with obvius reference to the sea, but could deal with the vast marshes that once the not too distant it covered the lower areas and depressed.
The Maremma par excellence, its geographical and anthropological heart is whether it has the Maremma Grosseto, which roughly extends from Follonica, in the north, and the ditch of Chiarone, to the south, in the territory of Capalbio, which still today marks the historic border Southern Tuscany.
The Maremma is an area of great natural and landscape value, rich in historical centers and protected areas, which make it a tourist destination of world interest.
