Maremma : A Symphony Of Land And Water - Articles Surfing

The name 'Maremma' reminds the beautiful landscape driven by the horse-ridden cattle breeders. The Maremma was called so because of its marshy land that was once unsuitable for cultivation.

The Etruscan coastline in Maremma represents a harmonious association of art and history. The crystalline beaches of Etruscan are reflections of the clear hearts of the migrant population of the land near the sea that once was covered by the marshy soils. The sandy terrain gives you the freshness of the earth and the swaying pine trees spread the fragrance of the breeze across the valley.

The history of Maremma dates back to the Etruscans, who, about 3000 years ago built big canals to dry the marshy land and created a fertile farm land that was later known as the 'bread basket of Etrunia'. The main cultivations of this land include wheat, vine and olives. The Etruscans were known for their artisanship and trading skills. Thus they contributed to the evolution of a new culture and civilization.

Known for the natural and environmental resources, Maremma is considered as one of the best tourist attractions of Italy. The land is better known for its agri-tourism feature. The big reservoir of wine and olive oil has become the favorite choice of many enthusiastic agrarian buyers.

The huge cliffs merged with the land give the coast a thrilling experience of a beach. The green shades of the pine trees invite you to join the freshness of the wild forests and get yourself refreshed from the hot summer. The land of Etruscans shows you the varying shades of the lives of the Etruscans. The climate there adds the mood of freedom and relief from the tensions of the life.

The soil, the beach, the vegetation- no matter what you choose, the rich civilized Etruscan beach ensures the satisfaction for each visitor to the land. The beaches there serve as the respite for your earthly problems and elevate you to the realm of nature's beauty.

The lonely night of the valley is dedicated for the artistic souls. You may recreate a Wordsworth within you. You can listen to the echoes of the hoof steps of the horses paddled by the young shepherds, reflecting across the valley. You can listen to the tunes of the incessant waves that tell the story of eternity of the culture. You will be absorbed on the laps of the goddesses of the dark forests who tune their favorite lullabies for you. You are the luckiest if you are alone to catch the enthralling concert played by them.

No wonder, the Etruscan has become one of the most sought after place for residence and an inspiration for many Italian and foreign artists. The Etruscan coast narrates a story of the unique victory of the Tuscan civilization and invites the attention of all categories of visitors there.

The amazing harmony of the nature with its culture, the expressive architecture that reveals the evolution of the Tuscany cities, and the varying pictures of the rural and urban lives, the artistic expressions in the form of museums and monuments ' the Etruscan coast has a lot more in its cache to share with the modern civilization.
