Craftsmanship in Maremma: Markets and shops where you can find authentic purchases
In the heart of the Tuscan Maremma, among golden hills and landscapes that look like something out of a painting, crafts are still one of the most authentic expressions of local culture. In the area around Capalbio, between Pitigliano, Sovana and Sorano, small shops and workshops preserve ancient skills, handed down from generation to generation. Entering one of these spaces is like taking a journey back in time: you can watch leather being worked, hand-decorated ceramics being created or unique jewellery being made, all the result of the passion and skill of local artisans. Every object tells a story, every purchase becomes an authentic souvenir of your holiday in Capalbio and the Maremma.
Throughout the year, the markets of the Maremma enliven villages and squares with a lively and genuine atmosphere. A few kilometres from Capalbio, you can discover the typical craft markets of Magliano in Toscana, Orbetello and Pitigliano, where scents, colours and smiles accompany visitors on a unique sensory experience. In summer, events in Capalbio become unmissable occasions: festivals, exhibitions and events dedicated to art and traditional Tuscan cuisine make the village a meeting point for artists, enthusiasts and curious visitors. It is not uncommon to meet celebrities in Capalbio, attracted by the reserved and refined atmosphere that characterises this pearl of the Maremma.
