The town is a splendid medieval village whose origins date back to before the year 1000. Situated on the slopes of the hills
overlooking the Costa degli Etruschi, it is a true jewel, rich in history and art, set in the green valley of the River Cornia.
The town displays an enchanting architectural harmony and its ancient walls enclose paved streets lined with stone houses,
historical buildings, impressive churches, and shadowy cloisters.
Thick cork, chestnut and oak woods, and Mediterranean scrub grow down to the sea. The Wine Route winds its way through
countryside rich with grapevines and centuries old olive trees. The region is swarming with agricultural enterprises, oil mills, wineries, and farm-holiday resorts where you can try local products and traditional dishes.
The town keeps its antique traditions alive through magical festivals inspired by history and folklore that are held
throughout the year, thanks to the mild climate.
