Southern Tuscany
In landscapes that range from the green knolls of the Val d'Orcia to the sandy beaches at Punta Ala, this region contains some of Tuscany's wildest areas: the Maremma, once a malaria-ridden swampland where the butteri, Italy's cowboys, rounded up their cattle, now a peaceful woodland fringed with beaches; Monte Amiata, a scruffy mountain landscape where goats gnaw at clumps of brown grass among scattered rocks; and the still-wild islands of the Tuscan archipelago.
