The Maremma region in Tuscany is contained in the province of Grosseto which is the main city of the province. Historically a rural area and known as the 'cowboy land' of Italy. Still today there are rodeo competitions during the summer in some areas. The coast line is lined with some of the most acclaimed beaches and tourist ports in Italy and for the last 8 to 10 years have received the Blue Flag award from the Environmental Safeguard dept. for the quality of its bathing waters. Ideally placed for day trips to Florence, Siena, Chianti wine region, Lucca and Pisa in addition to Elba Island (where Napoleon was exiled) and other small islands like Giglio and Montecristo. Food and wine are an art in the entire area and it is not necessary to go to acclaimed restaurants to enjoy an excellent meal. Many villages stage historical pageant events during the summer - the most famous being in Siena in July and repeated in mid August.
