Ansedonia and the island Cosa

Cosa was built as the first Roman colony in the Maremma in 273BC. The ruins of the city are on the summit of the hill looking over Ansedonia. Cosa was a Latin colony founded in southwestern Tuscany in 273 BC, on land confiscated from the Etruscans,[1] to solidify the control of the Romans and offer the Republic a protected port.[2] The Etruscan site (called Cusi or Cosia) may have been where modern Orbetello stands; a fortification wall in polygonal masonry at Orbetello's lagoon may be in phase with the walls of Cosa.

Reflections on the pool: Tuscan designs for swimming
With a sweeping view from 300 meters above sea level, Podere Santa Pia sits on a hill dominating the valleys of the Ombrone and Orcia rivers. In the heart of the Tuscan Maremma, among ancient oak woods, pastures, vineyards and olive trees, the area remains unspoilt, untouched, and rich in natural beauties and in historical and archeological sites.
