Marsiliana is about 40 km from Grosseto and 18 km from Manciano. It is situated in southern Maremma, along the Maremmana Regional Road halfway between Manciano and the Tyrrhenian Sea at Albinia. The old centre of Marsiliana is situated on the top of a hill overlooking the river Albegna.
History
The territory of Marsiliana is known for the presence of Etruscan archaeological sites: the most important one is the area of Banditella, where a necropolis of more than one hundred tombs (8th-6th century BC) was discovered in 1908.[2][3][4]
The village developed at the foot of the hill after the Riforma fondiaria (land reform) in the 1950s.
Buildings
Maria Regina del Mondo, main parish church of the village, it was built in 1959 and designed by Carlo Boccianti.[5]
Farm of Marsiliana (12th century), old castle built by the Aldobrandeschi, it was then held by the Republic of Siena and then by the Medicis. It became a property of the Corsini family from Florence in the 18th century and they transformed the building into a fortified farmhouse. Next to the farm there is the chapel of Sant'Antonio Abate.[6]
Castle of Stachilagi (12th century), ancient fortification built by the Aldobrandeschi, it's now in ruins.[6]
