Podcast Series Explores Contemporary Art in Tuscany's Maremma Region

The podcast series 'Tuscany Today – Itinerari e percorsi nella Toscana contemporanea' concludes with an episode focusing on southern Tuscany, particularly the Grosseto area and Maremma. The region is highlighted for its appeal to contemporary artists, with notable open-air art parks including Il Giardino di Daniel Spoerri in Seggiano, founded in the late 1990s, and Il Giardino dei Tarocchi by Niki de Saint Phalle in Capalbio, where a 2021 exhibition curated by Lucia Pesapane is anticipated. Other sites include Il Giardino dei Suoni by Paul Fuchs near Massa Marittima and Il Giardino Viaggio di Ritorno in Buriano. The podcast features voices of cultural operators and artists like Namsal Siedlecki. The area also offers museums such as MAGMA – Museo delle Arti in Ghisa della Maremma in Follonica, housed in the restored Forno San Ferdinando, directed by Claudia Mori. Cultural hubs like Polo Culturale Le Clarisse in Grosseto, inaugurated in 2016, and archaeological areas like the Parco Archeologico Città del Tufo with its Vie Cave are covered. The episode also explores contemporary wineries designed by architects, including Cantina Rocca di Frassinello by Renzo Piano in Gavorrano, Tenuta Ammiraglia-Frescobaldi by Sartogo e Grenon, Cantina ColleMassari by Edoardo Milesi, and Cantina Le Mortelle by Studio Hydea.
