The beautiful valley is characterized by rolling hills, woodlands and ancient archaeological ruins. Its simmering undercurrent of thermal water is fed by springs that stretch from Mount Amiata and the hills surrounding the Fiora and Albegna rivers to Roselle and Talamone. Explore the picturesque region and learn about its role in ancient mythology. According to the ancient Etruscans and Romans, the springs were formed when Jupiter quarreled with his rival, Saturn. The sky god threw lightning bolts at the leader of the Titans, but missed. The lightning bolts landing on the Maremma countryside caused the Earth to split and water to bubble up.
