Maremma: historical region between Tuscany and Lazio
The vast historical region of Maremma extends for about 5000km² between Tuscany and Lazio. Over the course of time, it has experienced major changes in its history. Its historical image—still a reality in the early 1900s—is of the silences of vast swamplands reflecting the clouds carried in by wind, herdsmen driving their horses, rustling expanses of grass, marshes, seasonal workers that ventured into the grand estates, overwintering flocks of birds, charcoal burners in the forests, and the invisible but fatal presence of malaria.
