The Maremma Regional Park (Italian: Parco Regionale della Maremma), also known as Uccellina Park (Parco dell'Uccellina), covers a coastal area between Principina a Mare and Talamone in the province of Grosseto, right up to the Livorno-Roma train line. The park covers 9,000 hectares (22,000 acres) plus an extra 8,500 hectares (21,000 acres) of open land around its boundaries, and it is included in the municipalities of Grosseto, Magliano in Toscana and Orbetello.
