Grosseto

[image ALT: zzz]
On a dark, snowy December day: the main square with the Palazzo della Provincia

Grosseto is one of the smaller and more out‑of-the‑way provincial capitals of Italy. I've been there, but very briefly; so when a more definitive website eventually appears here, it still won't be very big. For now:

If you are planning a trip to the area, you may find it useful to read the Dec. 31, 1996 and Jan. 1, 1997 entries of my diary, with 2 more photographs; for more complete and detailed general information on the town, you should see the websites in the navigation bar at the bottom of this page, of course.

[image ALT: A stylized representation of a metal hand-mirror, taken from the binding of a book. It is an Etruscan mirror motif representing that book, George Dennis's 'Cities and Cemeteries of Etruria'.]

The thorough reader may be amused by the rather dismissive passage in George Dennis's Cities and Cemeteries of Etruria: no Etruscan tombs, and gee it's a clean pretty town to catch malaria in. Since Dennis's time, an understanding of mosquitoes has changed the malaria part of that.

Images with borders lead to more information. The thicker the border, the more information. (Details here.)
