GROSSETO: FROM ITS ORIGINS TO THE PRESENT
It is thought that the foundation of the city of Grosseto is linked to some Etruscan tribes living in the area some centuries before the Roman Empire conquered the city. Thanks to the Romans, Grosseto became one of the most prolific colonies, ultimately because of the creation of the city’s forum, basilica, amphitheater and its Roman baths. In the 16th century, the city was annexed to Siena, losing most of its privileges as a free city. The 19th century saw a huge improvement for the city, thanks to the great territorial expansion inside and outside its walls. Currently, Grosseto is not only an important and big city, for it has become a cultural and historic center par excellence.
