Review:

Grosseto is the most populous region within the Maremma and is the capital city of its eponymous province, located approximately 14 kilometers from the banks of the Tyrrhenian Sea.

The area’s history can be traced back as early as the eighth century A.D. but remained a small village until its rule by the House of Lorraine in the 18th century. Today, it is known as the home of a number of famed architectural works, including the 16th-century Medicean Walls, the Grosseto Cathedral, and historic cultural sites such as the 19th-century Teatro degli Industri. It was the home of the first Italian-language author, Andrea da Grosseto, and has been showcased in a number of major release feature films, including The Talented Mr. Ripley. Unique regional cuisine includes the region’s signature acquacotta soup and schiaccia alla palla oven-baked bread.
