This page is home to my collection of special things to do in Italy - in undiscovered and breathtakingly beautiful Maremma in Tuscany and Lazio.
They are great experiences I have had with family and friends during our days out together in Maremma, that made us smile and which have stayed with us as happy memories for a long time. I hope that they help you to have a really wonderful experience of this special part of Italy.
There is also a page full of things to do in Maremma that are free.
Have fun!

Take Your Own Wild Boar Pictures
The tiny hamlet of Montioni in Maremma Livornese holds a wonderful surprise. You will not find day-trip coaches or crowds of tourists there (thank goodness), for to know about this little treasure you need to be a local "Maremmani", or come across it purely by chance. Visit Montioni in the early morning or late afternoon/early evening, and you will have the opportunity to see families of local wild boar... Click on this wild boar pictures link to read more and to see some of my own photographs taken at Montioni. And here for 175 Maremma wild boar facts. |
Follonica Carnival - Carnevale di Follonica
It fills the place with colour, music, costume, and nearly everyone from the surrounding villages and towns. Held during the first three weekends of February, with the float procession taking place on the Sunday afternoons, commencing at 2.30pm. The "Carnevale di Follonica". |
