    Grosseto is located in the alluvial plain of the Ombrone river, at a distance of 14 km from the Tyrrhenian sea. The town was probably first settled in the 8th century, and grew in importance because of the trade in salt, that was obtained in salt pans in the now reclaimed lagoon that covered most of the area between Grosseto and the sea. Because of its wealth, the town was disputed between Siena and Florence in the 13th and 14th century. By the time however that the Sienese finally managed to assert their dominance over the city in 1328, its tide was already turning because of the silting up of the lagoon, robbing Grosseto of its salt revenues. Grosseto was largely depopulated, and became an extremely unhealthy place because of the malaria in the marshy areas surrounding the town. Despite several attempts to drain the marshes, the town only started to grow again in the 19th century.

  • filter_dramaGet around
    The town centre is small enough to be explored on foot. Biking is an option as well, although Italian roads and traffic are not particularly friendly to cyclists.

    Since the area inside the city walls is partly pedestrianised, cars are better parked in the paid parking lots outside the walls (€3 per day)[http://en.parkopedia.it/parking/grosseto/].

    The town centre is confined between the city walls, and can easily be explored in a few hours.

    * The city walls were begun by Francesco I de' Medici, Grand Duke of Tuscany in 1574, and took 19 years to finish. They are largely preserved, and most of the walls can be walked.
    * This Romanesque cathedral, built in the 13th-15th century, is now largely the result of 19th century restoration works.
    * This pleasant neogothic reconstruction of a medieval palace dominates the adjacent square, where the locals gather in the evenings for a stroll and chat. It houses the seat of the [wiki=4ce058f6a17262f5be1bc7e03161824a]province of Grosseto[/wiki].
    * A good collection of archaeological finds from the region, especially from the Etruscan site of Roselle, close to Grosseto.

    Grosseto's main shopping street is the Corso Carducci. Being a regional centre, Grosseto has a good range of shops. A list of markets can be found on the [url=http://web.comune.grosseto.it/comune/index.php?id=854]website of the Commune di Grosseto[/url].
  • filter_dramaEat
    The Maremma region is not known for many specific dishes, but the local, traditional cuisine is very good. Typical of the region is the custom to serve unsalted bread with the food, which may come as a bit of a surprise. Schiaccia alla pala (oven-baked bread with oil) and schiaccia con cipolle e acciughe (oven-baked bread with onions and European anchovy) are typical breads of the city of Grosseto.

    The local wines are not very well known outside the region, but they can be a good alternative to the somewhat overrated Tuscan wines from the Chianti region.

    Each year, the Maremma food and wine festival (Passione Maremma Food&Wine Shire) is held in the third weekend of May. The town is then filled with stalls where local producers sell their cheeses, sausages, pastries and wines, and free music performances can be enjoyed as well.

    Grosseto has a large number of eating places, most of which will serve local food.

    * There are actually two restaurants at opposite sides of the street; the second one has a less attractive interior, but serves the same food. Reviews of food and service are mixed - it seems to better liked by Italians than by foreign tourists.
    * Gets very good reviews.
  • filter_dramaDrink
    In the evenings, and especially in the weekends, Grosseto fills up with young people who are usually dressed to impress. There is no lack of places to have a drink; unlike many other Italian towns, Grosseto has quite modern bars where you can have a beer and watch the scene.

    * This place is very popular with the locals, with people spilling out into the street later in the evening - to the annoyance of the neighbours. Irregular performances of DJs, live music or even poetry readings are offered in the weekend.
