In the Tuscan Maremma you will find not only countryside, agritourism, sea and pine forests: The Tuscan Maremma between festivals and festivals will really entertain you. Find out in this article all the secrets to find a front row seat and ensure a unique experience among villages, rhyming songs and country festivals.
What to do in the Tuscan Maremma? This enchanting southern part of Tuscany enjoys a very special climate all year round.
From now on, the days are getting longer and the first spring sunshine offers an opportunity to experience a lot of time outdoors. What can you do in the Tuscan Maremma during this time? Between Easter and Pentecost you will find the Maremma of May 1.
The tradition of "May" is a typical custom in the Tuscan Maremma. What is so important to celebrate at this time?
The Maremma spirit lives this need to be in contact with Nature. The forest, the crops, the changing seasons are the center of the world and between April 30 and May 1, many towns in the Tuscan Maremma celebrate the Maggiolata.
On the farms but also in the clearings adjoining the villages, organized groups called "Maggerini" come together and go about their business in joy accompanied by dances and music, country party attire, large colorful hats garnished with ribbons and paper flowers.
The Maggerini move at the guidance of a "poet" to sing rhyming stornelli in the farmyards. The farmer sometimes responds in rhyme with the skill of improvising lighthearted tercets that the poet takes up without pause or uncertainty.
The whole thing is played out "in dishcloth" without a written text but with the ability to rhyme on themes that wish for a good harvest or the good season. Love, in its more playful forms, is also a topic in the poet's rhymes.
The Maggerini group alternates with country music and dancing. The accordion is always in the center accompanying the poet. But the thing that is most important is the exchange of the farm's kinds: cold cuts and cheese, wine, breads baked in the oven. All foodstuffs that will later be used for the actual feast.
There are many folk groups that organize Maggiolate. In Braccagni, right at the foot of Montepescali and at Olmini, not far from LeVersegge Resort, you find the two most organized groups.
