Tuscany, Maremma coast. The mouth of La Fiumara, near Marina di Grosseto.

La Fiumara is an artificial canal, dug in 1834 to complete the hydraulic reclamation works of the large marshy area that once extended between Grosseto and Castiglione della Pescaia, in the southern part of Tuscany.

Its correct name is Canale di San Leopoldo and the mouth is normally silted up, being opened only by flood waters, mainly in autumn.
