THE TERRITORY

|
Sea and
Beaches
|
One of the
prettiest is the very white Cala Violina
(Violin Creek) in Scarlino. Along with
Cala di Forno in the commune of Magliano
in Toscana, this won a Legambiente
national award as one of Italy’s 11 most
beautiful beaches. Its sand is so fine
that walking along it in bare feet is
said to produce a sound resembling a
violin being played. Equally important
are the beaches of Follonica and of
course Castiglione della Pescaia in the
heart of Maremma, world-famous as
multi-award winning seaside resort,
along with the renowned “pearls” of
Punta Ala and Rocchette. Heading south
there’s the sandy stretch up to the
Parco Regionale della Maremma, taking in
Marina di Grosseto, Principina a Mare,
Marina di Alberese and Talamone to
arrive the Giannella isthmus, then to
the uncontaminated and uninhabited
Feniglia and to the Chiarone-Capalbio
VIP beach.
An incredibile range to suit all tastes,
having a complete relax, exploring the
Maremman sea, having an adventure…
ADVENTURE SEA
Surfing, windsurfing, kite surfing or
what you will. An array of exciting
water sports. Pescaturismo, diving and
sailing: more exciting ways of getting
to know Maremma’s sea…
OSCAR-WINNING BEACHES!
The numerous awards constantly assigned
to the Maremma sea confirm how much
importance is given to the quality of
the sea and the coast. Of all the 5
Sails of the Legambiente, an extremely
important award assigned every year only
to 10 Italian coastal localities , the
Bandiere Blu of the Fee Italia, which
rewards the condition of the waters of
the Italian coast, recognition that has,
for years, been conferred on Marina di
Grosseto and Principina a Mare,
Follonica, Castiglione della Pescaia and
recently also to Monte Argentario.

DIACCIA BOTRONA AND THE MULTIMEDIAL
MUSEUM OF THE XIMENES HOUSE
The Diaccia Botrona extends over a
thousand hectares of reeds and brackish
waters and is what remains of the old
Lago Prile, even today wrapped in a aura
of myth. In the midst rises the Casa
Rossa, a construction dating back to the
late ‘700 designed by Leonardo Ximenes,
the mathematician and engineer who
developed a sophisticated locks system
for reclamation of the so-called
“swamp”. This is where the Museo
Multimediale stands today.
WWF OASES
Within the Grosseto province, there are
areas which fall within WWF conservation
project: Bosco Rocconi and affiliated
Oasis of Capra Matilda (Roccalbegna/Semproniano),

THE AMIATA MOUNTAIN FAUNISTIC
PARK
The Park, managed by the Comunità
Montana covers 120 hectares and is
considered a true ‘Wild Park’ by
experts, based on the German model.
Amongst the animal species to be found:
deer, fallow deer, moufflons, and some
species of chamois and roe deer; it is
also possible to see the Apennine wolf.
THE PARK OF THE BIANCANE
Close to the centre of Monterotondo
Marittimo there is a special geothermal
park where certain special phenomena are
seen, including the smoke holes. It owes
its name to the white colour of the
rocks that characterizes the entire
landscape, and which is derived from the
chemical reactions caused by the
geothermal nature of the territory. |
