LOCATION
Saturnia and Maremma
The Maremma is one of the most striking corners of Tuscany, where hills map out the horizon and each stone, leaf and tree tells a story three thousand years old. Wandering along the pathways that meander through the countryside, between the thermal waterfalls and veils of steam, traces left by history can be made out: evocative Etruscan necropolises, elegant Roman villas, mysterious medieval fortresses. The charm of the Maremma is enriched by its livestock-raising traditions. The ‘butteri’, skilful cowboys, were talented enough to beat Buffalo Bill in 1911 when he challenged them to a contest at breaking in colts. The Maremman cattle-rearers still remain proud of this victory and hand down their skills from father to son.
HISTORY
Its Legend has it that one day Saturn flew into a temper because men were always fighting against each other. He took a flash of lightning and threw it down onto the Earth, causing sulfurous and warm water to gush out from the crater of a volcano, water which wrapped and calmed everything. That comforting womb eventually gave birth to wiser and happier men. The setting of the legend is acknowledged to be the heart of the Tuscan Maremma: here, this water is still gushing out at a rate of 800 liters per second and at a temperature of 37° C. The history of Terme di Saturnia dates back to the Etruscan era.
A local symbol is a figure of a woman which adorns the fountain in the central square of the village, representing the Etruscan goddess Aurinia. Aurinia was renamed Saturnia by the Romans in the 2nd century B.C. Signs of its past, are evident in some parts of the IV / III century B.C. citywalls, and the Roman Gate. In the nearby of the church it is still visible an ancient thermal square bath built by the Romans.
During the Middle Age, the Maremman region was repeatedly assaulted by the cities of Orvieto and Siena. Even if the local feudists had built defensive fortress, the Maremma was conquered. Nobody, in the following centuries, continued the massive drainage works started by Etruscans and Romans,till 1828 with the Duke Leopoldo II.
The Maremman region was repopulated and its inhabitants were recognize appropriate health cures. Today, turists spend their holidays in the tuscan Maremma, where to find evocative Etruscan necropolies, elegant Roman villas, mysterious medieval fortress.
