The villa offers a total of 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms with beautiful outdoor spaces and terraces with breathtaking view over the sea. A stone staircase leads directly towards the sea from the garden. Services are all available in the nearby town of Talamone (5km; 15’) but from the property it is very easy to move around the many historic cities of Tuscany (Orbetello, Porto Santo Stefano, Grosseto, Terme di Saturnia, Siena, Montalcino…). In just over two hours ne can also reach the beautiful and unrivaled Rome (173km; 2h 20’). The closest airport is Grosseto (34km; 45’) but the terminals in Rome (2h), Pisa and Florence are just as convenient. The tower (350 sqm – 3,766 sqft, 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms) is laid over three floors plus a beautiful rooftop panoramic terrace: - Ground floor: ample living room with original fireplace, hallway, kitchen with dining area, bedroom with en-suite bathroom, single bedroom with small en-suite bathroom, two double bedrooms and bathroom; - First floor: living room with sea view; from here one can exit out onto a beautiful pano- ramic terrace (roughly 200 sqm) with view over the Tuscan archipelago; - Second floor: master bedroom with en-suite bathroom and walk-in closet; - Third floor: terrace with breathtaking view. The tower has been recently restored and converted into a beautiful luxury residence. Nowadays, the villa boasts beautiful finishes mixing typical features of 16th-century fortifications with services and comforts of modern life. Vaulted ceilings and wooden elements have been successfully pre- served wherever possible, while in other spots high-quality materials have been used to preserve the charm of the building. Among the most beautiful features we must mention the stone glacis (needed to survive naval artillery), the vaulted rooms on the lower floors (used in the past as stor- age rooms and cisterns) and the beautiful 18th-century original wooden staircase leading to the upper floors. In the long war between Siena and Florence, the latter was supported by the Spanish crown, which had great interests in Italy. With the Treaty of Cateau-Cambrésis in 1557 all the domains of the Republic of Siena were split among the victors and Spain was given control of a coastal re- gion (known as State of the Presidi, Estado de los Reales Presidios in Spanish) which included territories from the Argentario up to the now-called Talamone, also including a portion of Elba Is- land (Porto Azzurro). The tower can be dated with good approximation to 1565: the Spaniards exploited the strategic location of the State of the Presidi to establish control over Central Italy and for this purpose they built a series of fortified towers to protect the maritime routes leading from Naples to Genoa along the Tyrrhenian coast. In 1783 the tower was in less-than-optimal structural condition and a few works were done: the wooden staircase leading to the first floor dates back to this period. In 1806, after the annexation to the Kingdom of Etruria, a survey was carried out to establish if the tower could still be used as a coastal artillery battery but the building was in such a bad the shape that it was deemed unfea- sible. © Agenzia Romolini Immobiliare s.r.l.

The estate covers a total surface of roughly 48.0 hectares (118.6 acres) where an ample forest grants excel- lent privacy. Wooden pergolas offer pleasant shaded places to relax in the open. A stone staircase (roughly 50 steps) leads directly to the sea through the rocky cliff. A beautiful rocky beach is located just 500 m from the villa and is easily reached on foot. Exteriors have already been deemed suitable for the realization of a swimming pool with solarium and a private helipad for even quicker access to the property. The villa, thanks to its beautiful location and the excellent privacy it offers, is regularly rented out to tourists and vacationers looking for peace and tranquility in a real paradise along the Tuscan coastline. © Agenzia Romolini Immobiliare s.r.l.

Dall’alto del poggio e’ possibile abbracciare con un solo sguardo la Valle d’Oro. Esso ha all’incirca la forma di un triangolo, la cui base è rappresentata dai terreni impaludati che formano il prolungamento del lago di Burano verso Ansedonia, mentre i lati – piu’ o meno irregolari – sono costituiti da una serie di dolci rilievi collinosi che trovano il loro vertice in direzione del Monte Alzato. La Valle e’ oggi, e doveva essere anche in antico la pianura piu’ fertile dell’immediato retroterra della collina di Ansedonia. Allorquando (nel 273 a. C.) i romani fondarono su quella collina la colonia latina di Cosa, la Valle d’Oro entro’ a far parte del territorio della nuova citta’ e dovette essere divisa in piccoli lotti (probabilmente di un ettaro e mezzo di media) fra i primi coloni. L’indagine archeologica – tutt’ora in corso – ha rilevato tracce di insediamento deferibili al sistema di piccole fattorie unifamiliari che caratterizzo’ la proprieta’ e l’economia agricola del territorio per alcune generazioni fino a una data ancora imprecisata – ma da collocare certamente fra il II e la prima meta’ del I sec.

  • La Viabilità in Provincia Di Grosseto Fra L’Età Romana E Il Medioevo
    92 Guida agli edifici sacri della Maremma LA VIABILITÀ IN PROVINCIA DI GROSSETO FRA L’ETÀ ROMANA E IL MEDIOEVO Carlo Citter LA VIABILITÀ ROMANA L’area oggi delimitata dalla provincia di Grosseto fu attraversata da una fitta rete di strade costruite per lo più fra III e II secolo a.C., di cui le principali erano: l’Aurelia (Vetus e Nova e Aemilia Scauri) e, nel sovane- se, la Clodia. Le fonti documentarie per la ricostruzione della viabilità romana principale sono: la Cosmografia dell’Anonimo Ravennate, la Geografia di Guidone (che indicheremo da ora in poi rispettivamente AR e GG, edite in Schnetz a cura di, 1940); la Tabula Peutingeriana (da ora TP edita in Miller 1916) e l’Itinerarium Antonini Imperatoris (da ora IA in Cuntz 1929). Ai fini della ricostruzione della viabilità tardorepubblicana non pos- sono essere usate AR e GG che sono invece, rispettivamente, una fonte bizantina e del pieno Medioevo, che registrano le modifiche all’assetto tradizionale a seguito delle vicende belliche del VI secolo. La viabilità romana è stata oggetto di studi di diverso spessore scien- tifico, talora ai limiti della fantasia, più spesso del tutto privi di un ri- scontro topografico. È chiaro, infatti, che la sola ricostruzione ideale di tracciati, svincolata da ogni verifica sulla natura geografica dei territori che attraversavano, è comprensibile solo in assenza di un’archeologia del paesaggio. L’A URELIA Cominciamo con i tracciati dell’Aurelia. Ho già trattato altrove il pro- blema della sinossi delle proposte che la ricca letteratura sull’argomento offre e rimando senz’altro a quel contributo per tutti i dettagli.

  • Un Bel Giro in Toscana (Capalbio, Saturnia, Montemerano, Argentario)
    Un bel giro in Toscana (Capalbio, Saturnia, Montemerano, Argentario) Scritto da Angelica Lunedì 18 Luglio 2011 20:29 Come poteva mancare nella nostra sezione di "Itinerari del bel vivere e del Mangiar bene" qualche suggerimento per andare nella MaremmaToscana? {limage}maremma toscana.jpg{/limage} La più bella regione d'Italia ha moltissimo da offrire e qui faremo solo un piccolo excursus di alcune tappe così belle che proprio non potete andare... da dove comincio? Basta di superare poco il confine del Lazio per venire conquistati dalla campagna toscana... rimango tutte le volte stupita e conquistata da come, pochi chilometri oltre, la campagna già si modifichi e assuma quell'aria quieta e romantica. Quindi, per muovere i primi passi, vi consiglio di andare in direzione della vicina Grosseto e di rifarvi gli occhi con la campagna intorno a Manciano, città medievale molto carina, che merita davvero una passeggiata. {limage}manciano.jpg{/limage} A Manciano tutti vi parleranno del ristorante da "Paolino", vera e propria istituzione del piccolo borgo. Noi ci siamo stati e non è male, ma il mio personale consiglio è quello di resistere ancora un po' e fare un salto a Montemerano, sia per la bellezza di passeggiare tra le sue viuzze, che per la straordinaria gastronomia di Ettore. {limage}montemerano.jpg{/limage} Non ho trovato un sito a cui demandarvi (probabilmente non l'hanno) per la gastronomia di Ettore, ma salendo la stradina principale, dopo poco, sulla destra troverete questa piccola enogastronomia davvero spettacolare.

Dissertation Advisors: James Hankins, Tamar Herzog Stuart Michael McManus The Global Lettered City: Humanism and Empire in Colonial Latin America and the Early Modern World Abstract Historians have long recognized the symbiotic relationship between learned culture, urban life and Iberian expansion in the creation of “Latin” America out of the ruins of pre-Columbian polities, a process described most famously by Ángel Rama in his account of the “lettered city” (ciudad letrada). This dissertation argues that this was part of a larger global process in Latin America, Iberian Asia, Spanish North Africa, British North America and Europe.

  • Federico Selvi a Critical Checklist of the Vascular Flora of Tuscan Maremma
    Federico Selvi A critical checklist of the vascular flora of Tuscan Maremma (Grosseto province, Italy) Abstract Selvi, F.: A critical checklist of the vascular flora of Tuscan Maremma (Grosseto province, Italy). — Fl. Medit. 20: 47-139. 2010. — ISSN 1120-4052. The Tuscan Maremma is a historical region of central western Italy of remarkable ecological and landscape value, with a surface of about 4.420 km2 largely corresponding to the province of Grosseto. A critical inventory of the native and naturalized vascular plant species growing in this territory is here presented, based on over twenty years of author's collections and study of relevant herbarium materials and literature. The checklist includes 2.056 species and subspecies (excluding orchid hybrids), of which, however, 49 should be excluded, 67 need confirmation and 15 have most probably desappeared during the last century. Considering the 1.925 con- firmed taxa only, this area is home of about 25% of the Italian flora though representing only 1.5% of the national surface. The main phytogeographical features in terms of life-form distri- bution, chorological types, endemic species and taxa of particular conservation relevance are presented. Species not previously recorded from Tuscany are: Anthoxanthum ovatum Lag., Cardamine amporitana Sennen & Pau, Hieracium glaucinum Jord., H. maranzae (Murr & Zahn) Prain (H. neoplatyphyllum Gottschl.), H. murorum subsp. tenuiflorum (A.-T.) Schinz & R. Keller, H. vasconicum Martrin-Donos, Onobrychis arenaria (Kit.) DC., Typha domingensis (Pers.) Steud., Vicia loiseleurii (M. Bieb) Litv. and the exotic Oenothera speciosa Nutt. Key words: Flora, Phytogeography, Taxonomy, Tuscan Maremma. Introduction Inhabited by man since millennia and cradle of the Etruscan civilization, Maremma is a historical region of central-western Italy that stretches, in its broadest sense, from south- ern Tuscany to northern Latium in the provinces of Pisa, Livorno, Grosseto and Viterbo.
