"La Pinetina" in Riotorto is a municipal park that hosts events such as the Riotorto Pride Fest.

The goal is to create a welcoming and inclusive space, with activities for everyone, from debates to concerts, and even children's spaces. Furthermore, the park hosts the Artichoke Festival and a myriad of other festivals.

The Church of San Giusto is the guardian of millennia-old stories and a timeless charm. A majestic church, whose origins date back to between the 9th and 12th centuries, located next to the Church of San Michele Arcangelo, it is not only a sacred building, but a piece of history can be found in every corner. Named after San Giusto, bishop of Volterra, its origins are linked to the legend of the African exiled bishops, San Giusto, San Cerbone, San Fiorenzo, and San Regolo, who landed in the Val di Cornia in the 6th century, leaving an indelible mark throughout the valley. It is no coincidence, in fact, that San Fiorenzo is the patron saint of Campiglia Marittima and the Cathedral of Massa Marittima is dedicated to San Cerbone. The gabled façade, the evocative portal, and the quatrefoil rose window, with its black and white band decoration, are hallmarks of the Tuscan Romanesque style.

The Parish Church of San Giusto in Suvereto is one of the most interesting Romanesque buildings in the province of Livorno. The church, mentioned as early as 923, was rebuilt in 1189 by the masters Barone Amico and Bono da Calci. The façade features a portal flanked by two columns with lions, a decorated architrave, and a quatrefoil oculus at the top. The interior, with a single nave, features a late-medieval octagonal baptismal font and several frescoes. The bell tower, with its crenellated top, underwent restoration in the 19th century following a lightning strike.

Suvereto lies between the hills and the sea of the Etruscan Coast. The medieval village is considered one of the most beautiful in Italy and has also been awarded the Touring Club's Orange Flag. Immersed in the nature of the Val di Cornia, the town is a true treasure: its walls guard the characteristic medieval streets, stone houses, historic buildings, and evocative churches. All around are endless forests of chestnut, oak, and, of course, cork oak trees, from which the town's name derives. Surrounded by the scents of the Mediterranean scrub, Suvereto is a village rich in art and history, distinguished by its pleasant views and its preserved spirit of tranquility and rest.
