From Maremma’s Simposio!


To reach the Monte Argentario from Orbetello, you cross a road just above the water, on an artificial bridge.

It is a beautiful short ride.

I always roll down the windows and enjoy the air flowing, messing up my air, and bringing me the smell of the sea.

The mount would've been an island if it wasn't for the sand strips created by the joint action of marine currents and the river Albegna. We must thank both because the result is two spectacular places to walk, run, bath, and sunbathe.

In the Giannella, I walk every morning, and I take my dog. It is my favorite place to be alone, meditate and recharge, smelling the unique hints of the Mediterranean shrub: thyme, rosemary, wild lavender, honeysuckle, myrtle, and oregano.
