We heard dogs barking…then 2 deer crossed the path and behind them…2 dogs completely out of breath 😅

On the way up there are ancient cork oaks.

According to Komoot, the path crosses the stream here. However, there was a gate after that. The friendly garden owner happened to be in the area and let us through and showed us the way. Thank you very much!

The ancient city of Roselle stood on an elliptical hill comprising two reliefs separated by a median valley, the heart of the political and religious life of the community in all eras. Although traces of frequentation during Prehistory and Protohistory are attested, Roselle was urbanized by the Etruscans in the 7th century BC. The choice of this area for an organized settlement was not accidental. In fact, the elevated position allowed the natural possibility of defense of the place and the control of the current Grosseto plain, in ancient times occupied by Lake Prile, a large lagoon communicating with the sea. The Etruscan city was conquered by the Romans in 294 BC, by the consul Lucius Postumius Megellus. The historian Titus Livius (X, 37, 3) recalls the conquest as follows: the army was transferred to the territory of Roselle and here not only was the countryside devastated, but the city was also conquered; More than two thousand men were taken prisoner, a few less were killed around the walls

Beautiful road with little traffic.

In the 1st century AD, about three centuries after the Roman conquest, Roselle was affected by intense building and monumental activity, determined by the Augustan protection and the munificence of powerful local families. In the late imperial age it was subject to the decadence that affected the Roman cities and in the Middle Ages, despite being a bishop's seat, it was reduced to a modest center, with a smaller extension compared to that occupied by the Roman city, whose structures were often reused. In 1138 a papal bull by Pope Innocent II decreed the transfer of the diocese to the nearby center of Grosseto. From this moment on, Roselle was subject to progressive abandonment and was reduced to … a wild solitude of stones and thorny bushes – a den for foxes and wild boars, snakes and lizards – visited only by the herdsman and the shepherd…., as described by George Dennis, a 19th-century English diplomat and scholar, during his visit to Maremma in search of Etruscan antiquities. The Superintendence of Archaeology of Tuscany, from the 1960s to today, has continuously conducted research and restoration and enhancement interventions in Roselle.
