A Moon Sunset in Maremma
Moon Photographs
This moon sunset photo is so stunning that it deserves a page of its own in the Maremma Guide sunset scenery collection.
Taken by local Maremmano, Carlo Micheloni, it is a beautiful image of a famous building in Maremma, that of the Casa Ximenes, or La Casa Rossa (Red House), within the Riserva Naturale Diaccia Botrona: a natural marsh close to the medieval town and port of Castiglione della Pescaia.
Although I have seen many great images of Casa Ximenes - it is popular amongst professional and amateur photographers alike - I have never seen it captured like this before.
If you are staying in Castiglione della Pescaia for your vacation, it is within easy reach of the town centre. Now the visitor centre for the reserve, it was built in the 18th century by Leonardo Ximenes to undertake the hydraulic drainange and reclamation of the area.
The wooded hills in the foreground are those of the massive Poggio Ballone, which separates two major river plains in Maremma, and within which you will find "cinghiale" (wild boar) and deer rooting and roaming free, and the medieval hill top towns of Buriano, Gavorrano, Guincarico, Scarlino and the Etruscan city of Vetulonia.
Carlo has taken some lovely photographs of Maremma and his Flickr photostream is well worth a visit.
