About Boccheggiano
Boccheggiano is a hill village of a little over three hundred people in the Colline Metallifere of Grosseto province, sitting at 664 metres on the provincial road between Massa Marittima and Monticiano. It was an important mining village, and its 13th-century walls still ring the old core, entered through the Porta della Torricella. Inside are the 15th-century parish church of San Bartolomeo, the older San Sebastiano and a municipal theatre built in 1927. The village also has the Giardino dei Suoni, a contemporary art park started by the artist Paul Fuchs. The homes are close together, mostly for four or so; most have a pool and garden, and some have a sauna.
