MaremmaThe '''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 Latium (a bordering region of the province of Viterbo). The poet Dante Alighieri in his ''Divina Commedia'', identifies Maremma between Cecina and Corneto, the former name of Tarquinia. :''Non han sì aspri sterpi nè sì folti'' :''quelle fiere selvagge che 'n odio hanno'' :''tra Cecina e Corneto i luoghi colti.'' It was traditionally populated by the ''Buttero|Butteri'', cattle-breeders who used horses until recently, with a distinctive style of saddle. Once unhealthy because of the many marshes, Maremma was drained during the Fascism|fascist regime and re-populated with people coming from other Italian regions, notably from Veneto. Provided with significant natural and environmental resources, Maremma is today one of the best tourist destinations in Italy, where ancient traditions have survived and Tuscan culture is preserved. It is being promoted as a destination for agritourism. it:Maremma de:Maremma fr:Maremme Category:Tuscany First page | Prev | Next | Last page |
