The Buttero

Testimony of this unusual struggle with Nature is also a figure always linked to Maremma: the buttero. Riding on his horse, revealing the typical rationality of animalemaremmano, in the traits, the Aegadianry protects the health of semi-grain cattle that abound in the region. He is a character deeply linked to the history of Maremma: once being buttery meant being someone in the scale of the hierarchies, being distinct from the crowd of laborers who, every summer, came down from the mountains looking for work. Today, the remembrance of this altered and rustic character remains at the same time in the work of a few tireless men, and it is not uncommon for them to walk with their horses in the pine forests or on the beaches of Uccellina. At the end of this panorama, we can not miss a few words about the beautiful beaches that characterize the coast: daMarina, Principina and Alberese, the coast is a long stretch of beach, in many untouched stretches, characterized by dunes covered with plants Even rare, like the white lily. Particularly beautiful are the beaches of Principina. Until the mouth of the Ombrone and the Alberese, which still preserve the wild and primitive charm. For the various itineraries proposed in the Park, it is advisable to contact the Visitor Center.
