When people say that the Maremma is a secluded paradise still true to the traditional way of life, they really mean it. Search for it on Google and hardly anything comes up. It’s a mystery destination, concealed in the glow of the big cities that surround it.
Saturnia is less of a town and more of a living legend. Ask the locals and they’ll convince you that this Maremman town is actually the mythical Saturnia tellus – refuge of Saturn after he lost the throne of the gods..
Massa Marittima needs no introduction. A true medieval city, it eclipses almost every other town in the Maremma with its beauty and its fame.
The first thing the locals say to those who are lucky enough to wander through the medieval walls of Manciano is - ”Manciano delle streghe, dove si va si vede”, which means, “Manciano, where the witches are, wherever you go you see“.
