The town of Suvereto is in the province of Livorno near the coast and it has a population of about 3000 inhabitants. The Palazzo Comunale, the parish of San Giusto and the Rocca Aldobrandesca, namely the castle of the ancient Lombard lords who ruled the village in the Early Middle Ages, can be admired in the town.

Suvereto was one of the first settlements in the Val di Cornia and dates to the first centuries of the Middle Ages, immediately after the fall of the Roman Empire. Its inhabitants can boast the fact that they were the first in Maremma to organize themselves as an autonomous town in 1201. The town was allied with Massa Marittima, but it was part of a Ghibelline League headed by the Republic of Pisa until it was included in the Principality of Piombino after it was founded in 1399.
The epochs enriched the history of the town with important and artistically noteworthy constructions. The Romanesque parish of San Giusto reminds us of the origins of the town. The parish was finished in 1189 and the door that functioned as the entrance to the medieval village was built near it. Instead, the Palazzo Comunale and the Convent of San Francesco, that rose on a ancient land owned by the Aldobrandeschi, date to the XIII century.
The church of the Crocefisso, built in the XVI century, is near the cloister of the convent while Suvereto's XVIII century is testified by the church of the Madonna di sopra la Porta. It was raised in 1772 through a public donation to all the town's inhabitants to celebrate the miracle of the doors opening against the current when a violent storm hit the town, saving it miraculously.
