The deepest dive you can do into the ancient history of the Maremma is at the archeological park of Vulci, east of Capalbio. Vulci was the largest city and the wealthiest and most influencial of the twelve tribes of Etruscan civilization. They traded extensively with the Sardinians, co-founded ancient Rome, and ruled a large part of the Maremma until finally defeated by the now Roman Empire in 280BC.

The archeological park here features numerous tombs, residences, arches, and temples, the oldest dating back even further to the Bronze age, and many precious and important artifacts are housed in the nearby archeological museum housed in the medieval castle next to the park overlooking the Fiori river, built next to the ancient Devil’s bridge crossing the gorge.
