From Principina a Mare passing through the mouth of the river Ombrone to Talamone, along 25 km of coast in magical Tuscany, extends the Maremma Park, with a total area of protected area of 8,902 Ha. as well as a contiguous area equal to Ha. 9,097, consisting of a chain of hills that descends towards the sea with sandy beaches and cliffs, surrounded by marshes, pine forests, cultivated fields and pastures.

The fortification with sighting functions was built by the Sienese in Renaissance times to strengthen the coastal defensive system along one of the coastal stretches controlled by the Republic of Siena. The structure was destroyed and subsequently rebuilt in the second half of the sixteenth century, when it was considerably raised; a further restoration was carried out towards the end of the eighteenth century when it no longer exercised its original defensive functions.

Alberese, a hamlet of Grosseto, is located in the heart of the Maremma Regional Park, among fields, pine forests and the Uccellina Mountains. The modern village developed mainly between the nineteenth and twentieth centuries thanks to the reclamation and reorganization of the great grand ducal estate. Today it is the main gateway to the park and retains a strong link with agriculture and Maremma traditions.
