The Etruscan and Roman heritage in Maremma
Maremma has been inhabited since prehistoric times, but its development began with the Etruscans, who founded cities such as Vetulonia, Roselle and Pitigliano. Even today it is possible to visit the Etruscan necropolis, the majestic city walls and the museums which preserve extraordinary finds from this civilization.
In Roman times, Maremma became a strategic centre, leaving a legacy of aqueducts, amphitheatres and spas, many of which can be visited in the archaeological areas and in the museums of Grosseto.
