Massa Marittima (Grosseto province)

A town of southern Tuscany: 43°03N, 10°54E. Altitude: 380 m. Population in 2001: 8800.

Straggling from his bus tour, a lone tourist snaps a quick photo of a January sunset.

I've been to Massa Marittima, but very briefly; too briefly: I hope to go back, if for no other reason than to do a proper visit of the Duomo, which is splendid. A slightly fuller website will eventually be forthcoming. Right now, two very small items:

	If you're planning a trip to the area, and being very thorough about it, you might find it useful to read the Jan. 1, 1997 entry of my diary, with one more photograph; for 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.
	George Dennis's Cities and Cemeteries of Etruria is one of the best books on central Italy — as long as he sticks to the Etruscans. About Massa, well . . . read him for yourself.

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