Maremma, Tuscany

The first permanent settlements in the Maremma were built by the Umbrians - after whom the river Ombrone was named. However it was only with the coming of the Etruscans that the Maremma territory became a trading region, important throughout the Mediterranean, since the Etruscans carried out most of their activities along and on the sea. Then the Romans settled in the area, but they did not pay their surroundings very much attention. It was only a pleasant holiday location for noble families and a land crossed by busy consular roads - in particular the famous Aurelia - leading to the towns of Northern Italy.
