The Costa d’Argento is the marvelous part of the Tuscan coastline south of Grosseto facing the Tyrrhenian Sea. It is bordered by the Uccellina hills and Lake Burano, both splendid and
unique natural environments. The Aurelia State Highway runs lengthwise, following the route of the original Roman road from the warm, health-giving source of the Osa as far as the foot of the hill with the magical Tarot Garden. Here and there roads cross it
leading to the hills or the sea. The ancient towns of Montiano, Magliano and Capalbio, closed within solid city walls, once guarded the coastline and countryside from their perches on high. Today these towns are the custodians of past rituals and traditions
that give quality to life. Orbetello overlooks the flourishing lagoon, teeming with fish and birds. Every corner inside the massive city walls calls forth memories of its past: an Etruscan and Roman city, a rich medieval abbey, and the unconquered of the Spanish
Presidios and, more recently, as the base for legendary flights that opened up the Atlantic skies to man.
The Argentario, which gives its name to this section of the coast, is a silver and green mountain reaching up from the waves. Once an island, it became connected to the mainland by way
of the tombolos of Feniglia and Gianella. It is now an environmental and seaside vacation paradise. Along with Talamone, that faces it to the north, the Argentario is the preferred spot for nautical tourism. In the fishing villages of Porto Santo Stefano and
Porto Ercole, it is possible to go to sea in any season, taking the same routes followed by different peoples and civilizations from time immemorial. In these towns, traditional shipyards and boat-builders still pass down the noble art of building wooden boats.
