Hello dear friends,
Yesterday I didn't manage to publish the post I had already prepared about another place I discovered for the first time during my vacation—a small medieval village nestled in the Metalliferous Hills in the inland of Maremma, Tuscany.
I'm talking about Tatti, a hamlet of Massa Marittima in the province of Grosseto, a truly enchanting place located 25 km from Massa Marittima. It's undoubtedly rich in history and art—exactly the kind of places I love.
After parking the car (since it's practically impossible to enter these villages by car), I began my stroll. Right from the start, I was captivated by these recently restored stone houses and the abundant flowers that adorn these villages. As I mentioned before, the locals seem keen on embellishing their surroundings more and more, and they do a wonderful job at it!
Suddenly, I came across a fountain, architecturally quite unique. I had never encountered anything quite like it before. Of course, fountains are common because water has always been crucial in these places, historically and presently.
I continued my walk through the winding streets, always a bit tangled in the sense that you can easily get lost—it's quite challenging to navigate, although the village is relatively small.
During my stroll here, too, I encountered hardly anyone, probably because it was a workday. Returning to the history of this place, it dates back to the early Middle Ages, with possessions once belonging to the bishops of Lucca, later absorbed into the Grand Duchy of Tuscany. What strikes you when you visit this place is that all the streets are truly cobblestoned, more so than other villages I've visited.
I also had the chance to visit the Parish Church of Santa Maria Assunta, originally medieval but fortunately restored in the 19th century, with its roof completely redone in 2015. Technically, this is the main church of the village, and perhaps that's why I found it open and accessible.
In conclusion, I can say that this place was yet another delightful discovery. I never quite manage to convey the peace and tranquility of these places through my photos—they're emotions best experienced in person. So, if you visit Tuscany, these are places you absolutely cannot miss.
See you in my next post, and I wish you all a good day and an early happy weekend!

Wow! This is a nice and tidy small village; the fountain, the Church all are beautiful. Thanks for sharing with us!
Thank you for reading the post😘
The place looks so unique, it is also elegantly simple and the structures of the house looks strong. Never seen houses like that before, to be honest. But I'm just curious, I haven't seen other people from your pictures, is that place kind of like private?
No, simply very few people live there,Many are homes that are only used during holidays
It is a beautiful place, indeed. I can say that this is one of the most travel blogs that I've found unique. 😊
Thank you for your words which are too kind😘
You're always welcome. I appreciated it. 😊
The coblestone looks really scenic!
Yes it is beautiful but in some places they have removed it😌
It definitely takes you back to the ages.
Would make me wonder about the architecture and the crafts.
Sometimes would be scared to be in isolated spot,
but this place looks great to be in the holidays.
but in my opinion it is worse to be in an overly populated place😂
true that.
That will be a harsh life to live. :D
