Via del Tarabuso, Grosseto

The cluster is in the built-up area of Grosseto, so the lived setting is the Maremma plain rather than open hill country. The Ombrone River crosses the area before reaching the Tyrrhenian coast at Marina di Grosseto. The Parco Regionale della Maremma lies just south of the city, with the Uccellina hills, pine woods, marshland and protected shoreline inside the 15 km radius. Marina di Grosseto and Principina a Mare are the nearest coastal settlements, with long sandy beaches and coastal pine forest. Grosseto is the nearest town of size and has the full services of a provincial capital and a walled historic centre. The area is known for the Maremma plain, cattle country and coastal wetlands.
