Monteverdi Marittimo is a charming Italian municipality of about 775 inhabitants located in the province of Pisa, in Tuscany. This ancient medieval village stands in the hinterland of Maremma Pisana, perched on the southern slope of the Colline Metallifere and straddling the Val di Cecina and Val di Cornia. Certified with the prestigious Orange Flag of the Italian Touring Club, the town represents a unique meeting point between the dense Mediterranean scrub, the proximity to the sea (from which it is about 15-20 km away) and the geothermal energy of the subsoil.
