Metalliferous Hills

The Metalliferous Hills separate the Maremma region from the Gulf of Follonica to the depths of Tuscany, partly in an area designated as the “Upper Maremma” and neighbouring the lands of Pisa and Siena. They have a full personality, having lived long from the exploitation of metals including silver and copper until 1990, but also iron, lead, zinc, mercury, pyrite and gems.

Palazzo Vecchio is a historic palace and museum. The interior rooms present frescoes and decorations made by artists like Vasari, which illustrate the history and power of Florence. The museum also exhibits works of art, sculptures and historical objects related to the Medici family. The visit allows you to discover emblematic spaces such as the Hall of the Five Hundred and the private ducal apartments.
