Maremma Park: 50 years of nature, history, and vision
Founded in 1975 as one of Italy's first regional parks, the Maremma Park has been a virtuous model of environmental protection, landscape enhancement, and promotion of slow tourism for fifty years. Located along the Tuscan coast, between Principina a Mare and Talamone, the park encompasses wild beaches, pine forests, pastures, and the spectacular hills of the Uccellina Mountains.
Today, in 2025, it celebrates its fiftieth anniversary with a cultural program that brings together art, science, and the local area, involving leading figures and offering immersive experiences amidst the sounds of nature and the words of the great thinkers of our time.
Ginevra Di Marco & Enzo Avitabile: B.P.M. – Ballata Popolare Mistica
In the evocative setting of the A6 wildlife trail, the concert “B.P.M. – Ballata Popolare Mistica” will take place on July 20th at 6:45 PM, a dialogue between the voices of Ginevra Di Marco and Enzo Avitabile, joined by Redi Hasa (cello), Sana (percussion), Francesco Magnelli (piano and magnellophoni), and Andrea Salvadori (guitars, tzouras, electronics).
A musical journey through spirituality, popular tradition, and sound research: a concert that resonates with the very soul of the Park, crossing sonic territories where the sacred meets the social and the Mediterranean becomes a source of collective inspiration.
Admission is by reservation, with departure from the Alberese Visitor Center at 5:30 PM. Comfortable clothing and a cushion for sitting along the nature trail are recommended.
Piergiorgio Odifreddi: Rereading Darwin
On August 1st at 7:00 PM at the Granaio Lorenese, Piergiorgio Odifreddi, a renowned mathematician and popularizer, will lead the audience in a profound reflection on Darwin and evolution. "Rereading Darwin" is much more than a scientific conference: it is an invitation to engage with evolutionary thought from a contemporary perspective, encompassing biology, philosophy, and mathematics. An event that intertwines the beauty of intellectual speculation with the urgency of rediscovering the laws of nature from which everything originates—right where nature is still alive and uncontaminated.
Ilaria Capua: Science, Health, and the Environment
Also at the Granaio Lorenese, scientist and communicator Ilaria Capua will be the protagonist of a meeting on August 20th at 7:00 PM focusing on the relationship between health, the environment, and innovation. Her systemic approach and "One Health" vision will highlight the interconnectedness between humans, animals, and the environment, at a time when this awareness is more urgent than ever. This will be an opportunity to reflect on future challenges and how science can drive sustainable change.
A special summer of culture and nature
These three events represent the pinnacle of a series, "Parco Aperto," which will offer theater performances, concerts, meetings, and experiential walks throughout the summer. The Maremma Park thus confirms itself not only as a place of biodiversity but also of cultural ferment, welcoming thousands of visitors each year in search of authenticity. Ginevra Di Marco, Odifreddi, and Capua best embody the spirit of this celebration: knowledge that becomes storytelling, art that dialogues with the territory, nature as the protagonist.
All details on the complete program are available on the official website www.parco-maremma.it. Some events include guided tours and walking accompaniment, so it is recommended to carefully read the instructions for each evening.
We invite our guests to be inspired by the beauty of the Park and participate in these unique moments: a way to get to know the Maremma through its sounds, its thoughts, its emotions.
