TUSCANY'S LAST COWBOYS

14. 9.16:00 → 17:00

At the heart of the Maremma, Tuscany's coastal region, cattle and horses have been bred for over thousands of years. Cattle herders are known here as "Butteri" - they are tough and resilient. May 1st is the day of the "Merca", the most important day of the year for every Buttero: wild roaming calves are separated from their mothers and branded with a traditional branding iron.
