 The Maremma is an area in Italy, consisting of part of southern Tuscany (and partly coincident with province of Grosseto area) and some part of northern Lazio (a bordering region of the province of Viterbo).
The coast, the beaches and the sea of the Tuscan Maremma [3]. Maremma includes 160 km of shoreline. The stretches of sandy and rocky coastline allow all sea lovers
to find the perfect place for them. Moreover, the vast pine tree forests which border the beaches of the Maremma are a real
naturalistic treasure and so are the few areas where the lagoon and swamp ecosystems have survived urbanization, reclamation
or simple draining, such as the nature reserve of the Diaccia Botrona near Castiglione della Pescaia. The metalliferous hills [4]: The Colline Metallifere (literally, the metalliferous hills or the hills which produce metals) have always
been the industrious heart of the Maremma and some places still point to times when the life on these hills was much harder.
As their name says, the soil of these hills, which spread from the border with the province of Siena to the Gulf of Follonica, are rich in minerals and mines have been excavated for centuries in search of iron, copper, lead, zinc, pyrites
and silver. The main town is Massa Marittima.
