Welcome, Traveller, to the Farma-Merse valley, a little-known but lovely land. For centuries the valleys of these rivers, stretching as they do between Siena and the Maremma, have formed the natural boundary between two highly different worlds: the mercantile trading civilization and the forest and mining economy. This tongue of land embraces the best of the two worlds, offering splendid evidence of a rich history of diverse human settlements, and a natural environment where the Mediterranean vegetation alternates with centuries-old chestnut woods and unpolluted rivers. |
