Art and Magic

The tradition tells stories of witches who populated the Maremma, stories that live again in the traditional festival celebrated on October 31 in Montemerano with dances, music and costumes among the medieval squares of the country.

The magic of our land has struck artists such as Niki-de-Saint-Phalle who in Garavicchio, a few minutes drive from Podere Dodici, has created his masterpiece, the Tarot Garden. Inside a park he reproduced the statues depicting the 22 major arcana of tarot with a unique style made of mosaics, colored stones, mirrors and sinuous shapes; The little ones will love the fairy-tale atmosphere while the older ones will rediscover their own imagination and imagination.

The Maremma was also home for Daniel Spoerri who chose a park in Seggiano, on Mount Amiata, the perfect location to install sculptures made by about 50 artists of the twentieth century. The park is open from April to October and is located about an hour from the Farm Podere Dodici, to spend a day in the mountains also enjoying the flavors of the forest as porcini mushrooms and wild boar.
