As you know I love Maremma a lot these days – I’ve been to two sculpture gardens and created a wholeitinerary of things to see in Maremma. And I didn’t even talk about the beautiful landscape! As the seasons change the skies are dramatic and the colours of the ground range from brown to bright green to the light yellow of cut hay.

The sea is also remarkable, from a distance it can be turquoise or grey, smooth or wavy; the beaches in wintertime are abandoned and windy and have a certain appeal. I particularly like photographing the flotsam and jetsam and the pieces of driftwood on the beach. These get cleaned away by beachcombing machines at the start of the “season”.
The beach at Castiglione della Pescaia in the winter is a whole other colour, and there’s interesting flotsam and jetsam to photograph
Here are some great photos of the Maremma taken by others on Flickr
