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..
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“.
