Hello dear friends,
Unfortunately, due to a small mishap yesterday, I wasn't able to publish this post, which I am posting today. In this post, I want to continue my presentation of these unique places in Tuscany. This place is named the same as another place I shared some time ago, except it is located in the province of Grosseto. In Tuscany, there are several towns with this name.
I am talking about Buriano, a hamlet in the municipality of Castiglione della Pescaia in the province of Grosseto.
This is a beautiful place, situated at an altitude of almost 200 meters, and its origins date back to the early Middle Ages. In fact, it was the fief of the Aldobrandeschi, an important family who also built the Rocca, of which unfortunately only parts remain. In reality, most of this place has fallen into ruin, as has happened with many castles here in Tuscany.
I did my usual walking tour, starting from the town where I noticed old photographs hanging on the walls. They probably referred to the inhabitants who lived in these places. From the town, there was already a beautiful view of the surrounding plain.
Then I went up to admire what remained of the medieval fortress. Unfortunately, I found these relics a bit abandoned, poorly maintained, and there was practically no historical explanation of this place.
I then descended to the town and, walking through these small streets, I could observe moments of everyday life of the people living there. There were also these photographs that remembered the past of this place.
the photographs also had the birth dates of the people depicted in the photos and, unfortunately, the dates of their deaths, as they had lived in the early 20th century. It was quite touching to see these photos, something that really evoked strong emotions in me, but it is wonderful that these people are remembered.
In conclusion, I can say that this little gem of Tuscany was very interesting. It gave me the impression of being a bit more lived-in as a place. I noticed that many people live here permanently, and this is definitely a good thing. The idea of the photographs to remember those who lived here is also beautiful. It was the only town where I saw this.
I hope you liked the photos. I'll see you in my next post, and I wish you all a good day.
