The town of Magliano in Toscana, right in the heart of the Grosseto Maremma on the top of a hill cultivated with vines and olive trees, has a medieval air about it.
Archeological excavations in this area have uncovered various necropolis, demonstrating Magliano’s roots as an Etruscan settlement before becoming the historic Roman municipality of Heba. From the 9th century onwards, the town was firmly in the grasp of the Aldobrandschi counts, next falling under the control of the Sienese Republic that fortified it with a splendid city wall, whose remains are still well-preserved and continue to protect the historic centre.
