Poggio

A Poggio, in Maremma, is a hill. But not just any hill. It is the kind of hill that carries a village, a castle, or an isolated farm. When you see a Poggio, you see a landmark, often strategic, offering clear views over the surrounding countryside. Understanding this term helps you find your way on a map and anticipate the type of landscape you are going to find. That is where you look for perched medieval villages, vineyards overlooking the valley, or simply a spot with a beautiful perspective for a picnic. It is the very essence of the Maremma landscape.
