Casa Rossa Ximenes, in the swamps of Diaccia-Botrona. The swamps constitute a residue of a much widerspread humid area, which went from Castiglione della Pescaia to Grosseto, and is characterised by a fusion of the marine waters and the elevated salt content with the fresh waters of the Bruna and Ombrone rivers. Following the drainage in relatively recent times, a large part of the area has been transformed into a cultivable plain. The remaining part has been declared a natural reserve, in which it is possible to visit the museum set in the inside itself of the Casa Rossa Ximenes, go bird-watching and spend a pleasant day admiring the splendid lanscape. Tuscany, Italy.
