Perched on the slopes of Monte Calvi, Campiglia Marittima is a hilltop jewel in Livorno’s province, where history intertwines with Etruscan and Roman mining traditions. First attested in 1004 as *Campillia*, its name reflects its Latin roots (*campus*, meaning field), while the addition of *Marittima* (1862) underscores its connection to the historic Maremma region. Today, this picturesque town—home to 12,212 residents and a member of the *Borghi più belli d’Italia* circuit—is a must-visit for travelers seeking authenticity, blending the echoes of a mining past with the maritime ambiance of the Tuscan coast.

## What to See in Campiglia Marittima

**Rocca San Silvestro**
A masterpiece of medieval fortified architecture, founded between the 10th and 11th centuries by the *Della Gherardesca* family to oversee copper and argentiferous lead mines. The complex, divided into the *upper village* (with walls, a noble residence, and a church) and the *lower village* (equipped with an olive press and ovens), bears witness to the decline of mining activities by the 13th century. Today, the ruins of the smelting furnaces and mining shafts—visible near the *Madonna di Fucinaia* church—offer a fascinating glimpse into the past.

**Pieve di San Giovanni**
A medieval sacred building symbolizing the town’s religious life. First mentioned in Pisan sources from the 12th century, this parish church preserves Romanesque architectural elements and reflects its historical ties to the Archdiocese of Pisa, which held its lands from 1158.

**Propositura di San Lorenzo**
The parish church of the historic center, an exemplary work of Renaissance sacred architecture with Gothic influences. Its façade and interior, adorned with frescoes and local artworks, make it a cultural and artistic landmark in the Val di Cornia.

**Archaeological-Mining Park of San Silvestro**
A protected area preserving the remnants of Etruscan and Roman mining activities. Here, you can admire mining shafts, smelting furnaces, and production structures, along with trails winding through Mediterranean vegetation and ancient cisterns.

## Local Flavors and Gastronomic Traditions

While Campiglia Marittima itself lacks a formal dining scene, it sits at the heart of Livorno’s and Maremma’s rich culinary heritage. Here are must-try dishes from nearby villages and local trattorias:

**Livornese Cacciucco**
The iconic *cacciucco*, a coastal fish stew from Livorno, is a Tuscan coastal staple. Made with fresh local fish (like sea bream, gurnards, and rays), tomatoes, olive oil, and parsley, it pairs perfectly with a *panino al cacciucco*—a warm, hearty sandwich to savor.

**Florentine Steak (Bistecca alla Fiorentina)**
The legendary *bistecca alla fiorentina*, sliced from Chianina beef, is a Tuscan icon. Though originally from Florence, it’s widely enjoyed in Maremma, served with olive oil, salt, and chili flakes.

**Ribollita and Pappa al Pomodoro**
Two rustic yet flavorful Tuscan peasant dishes: *ribollita*, a bread-and-bean stew with vegetables, and *pappa al pomodoro*, a tomato and basil polenta, both embodying the soul of Tuscan farm life.
