The Tuscan Maremma’s summer includes performances in the Teatro delle Rocce in the Colline Metallifere National Park.
Discovering the Maremma’s Metalliferous Hills
In this multi-thematic area visitors can embark on a 5000-year-long journey through history, mining, nature and innovation to discover the Colline Metallifere metalliferous hills. The territory over which the park extends touches seven municipalities in Tuscany’s northern area, in the province of Grosseto: Monterotondo Marittimo, Montieri, Massa Marittima, Roccastrada, Gavorrano, Follonica and Scarlino.
Links to Dante’s Purgatory
Each town has a gateway to the park and a reception centre from which the various visit itineraries depart. Gavorrano, located on Monte Calvo, is a particularly interesting village which was the cradle of the events that led to the death of the Sienese noblewoman Pia de' Tolomei, a story narrated by Dante in the fifth canto of Purgatory.
The Teatro delle Rocce is in the Gavoranno area
In the Gavorrano area there is also another place that is truly unique in terms of its charm and fascination: the Teatro delle Rocce theatre which was inaugurated in 2003 and has become one of the symbols of the Colline Metallifere National Park. Built inside an old quarry, it is now a cultural space, and every summer it stages plays, concerts, dance performances, conferences, art exhibitions and major events.
An evening with singer-songwriter Francesco De Gregori
For the summer of 2024, the Teatro delle Rocce is ready to host various shows and welcome back the singer-songwriter Francesco De Gregori on 23 August. Visitors wanting to attend this unmissable appointment can also choose to stay at The Sense Experience Resort in Follonica which is less than 30 minutes from Gavorrano.
