Riotorto and Vignale

Distance: 2 km

The villages of Riotorto and nearby Vignale are nestled between the hills and the sea along the Etruscan Coast, bordering the area of Follonica and overlooking the gulf that shares its name.

This precious corner of Tuscany is framed by crystal-clear seabeds, Mediterranean pine forests, and long, sandy beaches.

Along the coastline of the Gulf of Follonica and in the nearby hills, you’ll find numerous areas of natural and environmental value that make up the Val di Cornia park system:

• Baratti and Populonia Archaeological Park
• San Silvestro Archaeological Mining Park
• Sterpaia Coastal Park
• Rimigliano Coastal Park
• Montioni Natural Park
• Poggio Neri Forest Park

Additionally, the area is home to the Archaeological Museum of the Territory of Populonia and the Villa Lanzi Documentation Center.
