Campiglia Marittima
Member of I Borghi più belli d'Italia
Metal made Campiglia: the Etruscans already worked the copper and silver-bearing lead of these hills, and the Della Gherardesca counts founded Rocca San Silvestro to control the mines. The town rises on a Maremma hill looking out to sea, and its Palazzo Pretorio carries 72 coats of arms from the start of Florentine rule. In mid-August the Apritiborgo festival fills the streets with street art.
