Geography

Giardino is about 50 km from Grosseto and 12 km from Capalbio. It is situated in the plain of southern Maremma between the hills of Capalbio, Manciano and Orbetello, and the Tyrrhenian Sea. The valley of Giardino is commonly known as Valle d'Oro (Golden Valley) and it is surrounded by various heights of mountains, of which the highest peaks are those of Monte Nebbiello (127 meters), Poggio Imperiale (147 m), Poggio dei Butteri (154 m), Poggio Farletta (180 m) and Poggio Capalbiaccio (238 m).

History

Recent archaeological excavations proved that the valley was inhabited by the Etruscans dependent on the city of Vulci, as well as the Romans, as the hinterland of the colony of Cosa. [2] [3]

The modern hamlet of Giardino was built in the 1950s as a result of the riforma agraria (land reform) in Maremma.
