The Metalliferous Hills are the largest hilly and mountainous complex in the whole of the Tuscan Apennines, they are included between the provinces of Livorno, Pisa, Siena and, mainly, Grosseto.<\/p>\n

It includes the Grosseto municipalities of Campagnatico, Gavorrano, Massa Marittima, Monterotondo, Montieri, Roccastrada and Scarlino.<\/p>\n

Already frequented in Etruscan times, the Grosseto metalliferous hills were exploited for the extraction of ferrous minerals, such as alum, pyrite, antimony, calamine, galena and blende, over the centuries mining has represented the main economic activity for this area of Maremma, with a great development in the second half of the 1800s and after the Second World War.<\/p>\n

The area is characterized by the presence of numerous boraciferous blowholes, especially in the Monterotondo Marittimo area, mainly exploited in the production of geothermal energy, of particular interest, the Biancane Natural Park, a geothermal naturalistic area that owes its name to the white color of the rocks, due to the emissions of hydrogen sulphide which, in contact with limestone, form gypsum. The steam that escapes from the rocks and from the ground has a temperature of about 100 \u00b0 C. This area is part of the Archaeological Technological Park of the Grossetan Metalliferous Hills.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Grosseto is the southernmost provincial capital of Tuscany and the main city of the Tuscan Maremma. It rises in the coastal area of \u200b\u200bthe Maremma, just 12km from the sea, in the Ombrone valley.<\/p>\n

The territory of the municipality of Grosseto was inhabited, as for the whole area of \u200b\u200bthe Tuscan Maremma, since the most ancient times, in fact Roselle, an ancient Etruscan-Roman city, is located north-east of Grosseto.<\/p>\n

The Grosseto area is also home to the Maremma Natural Park, it was the first natural park created in Tuscany in 1975. The park covers an area of \u200b\u200b9800 hectares from the coast of Principina a Mare to Talamone, in the municipality of Orbetello . Within the protected area, various ecosystems alternate, from the marshy area to the Mediterranean scrub, including a stretch of the Tyrrhenian coast, most likely one of the most beautiful in all of Tuscany.<\/p>\n

Just 23km from Grosseto, there is one of the most famous places in the Maremma, Castiglione della Pescaia, an unmissable destination for lovers of the sea, awarded numerous times with the 5 sails of Legambiente. In addition to its wonderful beaches and crystal clear waters, Castiglione della Pescaia is also an unmissable stop to visit the Diaccia Botrona, a protected nature reserve.<\/p>\n

Follonica is about 40 minutes from Grosseto, and is one of the most famous maritime destinations in the Tuscan Maremma. The origins of the town are not particularly ancient, the birth of the town in fact coincides with the construction of the Royal and Imperial Foundries in 1834, built at the behest of Leopoldo II of Lorraine, but the territory was inhabited since the Etruscan period.<\/p>\n

Finally Punta Ala, together with Castiglione della Pescaia two of the most exclusive seaside resorts in the province of Grosseto and the Tuscan Maremma.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
