From the outside, La Peschiera in Santa Fiora doesn't look like the kind of place that would bring huge smiles to the faces of 21st century children, let alone have them letting out squeals of joy and keep them amused for a couple of hours. After all it is a 14th century fishery. But it will. And the thing is that it is in a setting that you will l...
You'll get to see "Trota Fario" - Brook Trout (Salmo trutta fario), "Trota Iridea" - Rainbow Trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss), and "Carpa" - Common Carp (Cyprinus carpio). These are the Brook Trout. But those enormous ones are special. For they are European sea sturgeon - "Storione" - a critically endangered species. Two of the larger of the three weigh...
An admission: during the filming of this video we did something that we shouldn't have. We didn't realise at the time that it was prohibited, not until we went back to the fish pellet dispenser to buy some more and read an information sign nearby. We gave the fish a couple of pieces of cheese from our panino! Please note that they may only be fed p...
That's Romeo and his Juliet on their way to us in the hope of eating some of those pellets too, but they usually loose out big time to the fish. They are a resident "married" couple of geese.
The la Peschiera in Santa Fiora sits within a large park, enclosed by a high trachite wall. It is a lovely spot to take a shady break during the heat of summer, to lay out a picnic, or simply to give your children some free play time and safe space to run around in and explore. They'll get to spot three kings. And fungi too.
Although there is scant information from the period, there is little doubt that the Peschiera was well established in the fourteenth century as the trout fishery of the Maremma nobility ruling Santa Fiora and its territories at the time, the Aldobrandeschi family. The earliest surviving record is that of text written by Pope Pio II in 1464, when he...

Walk out of the entrance to the fishery, along the road that was once the site of nothing less than miracles, and you will find a tiny Maremma church with a glass floor. It is called the Chiesa della Madonna delle Nevi - the Church of Our Lady of the Snows. In fact, chances are you saw it before the Peschiera and, if you have children with you and ...
