Summer in Tuscany is ideal for archeological tourism. The area of Grosseto is rich of roman and etruscan ruins: among them Cosa, near Ansedonia, is a must to see. The town of Cosa stands on the coast of the Tyrrhenian Sea on a rocky headland (114 m above sea level), that in past ages had been connected to the once island of Argentario by the Tombolo di Feniglia (a sandy rise). Cosa was founded under Roman influence in southwestern Tuscany in 273 B.C., after the defeat of the allied forces of the Etruscan towns of Volsinii and Vulci and the handover of most of the territory of Vulci, including the coastal stretches.
