Pyrite, you may know it as fool's gold. In Maremma, this name takes on its full meaning. It's not gold, of course, but this iron sulfide ore was a major player in local history. You'll find traces of it everywhere, from the old mines of the Grosseto area to museum collections like the one in Massa Marittima. Its presence attracted generations of miners, shaping the landscape and the economy. It's a tangible marker of the mining activity that long sustained this region, long before tourism. When you see it, you're touching a fragment of that industrial past.
