Grosseto: introduction
At an important crossroad on the route to Rome, Grossetto is the largest town in the Tuscan Maremma region, a bustling hub of agricultural and industrial activity and tourism, which is of national importance. The city walls guard the oldest part of Grossetto, whilst outside one finds the areas of more recent construction.
The person who, according to history, contributed the most to the development of the city was without doubt Leopoldo II, in honour of whom a monument was erected in the main square. Among the places to visit: the Medici Walls, the Civic Natural History Museum, the Archaeological Museum of the Maremma, the Museum of Sacred Art, the Chelliana Library, and, for those interested in marine life, the towns Aquarium should not be missed.
Grossetto hosts a great number of traditional events: Primavera Maremmana, Salto della Contessa, Rincorsa di St Lorenzo (the towns patron saint), the Fiera del Madonnino, the Torneo dei Butteri, the Raduno dei Maggerini, and numerous fairs celebrating the local gastronomic traditions.
