Roccamare

Roccamare is a village in Tuscany, central Italy, administratively a frazione of the comune of Castiglione della Pescaia, province of Grosseto.

The pinewood of Roccamare (Pineta di Roccamare) marks the northern end of the Pineta del Tombolo, an ancient pinewood (18th century) that stretches from Principina a Mare (south) to Rocchette (north).

The village is situated along the Provincial Road which links Castiglione della Pescaia to Follonica.

The seaside village of Roccamare was born as a gated community in the early 1960s on a project by Count Federigo Ginori Conti who conceived, financed and implemented the idea.

The originary settlement consisted of two hundred villas designed by architects Ugo Miglietta and Antonio Canali.
