What is "giuncarico"

Giuncarico is a village in Tuscany, central Italy, administratively a frazione of the comune of Gavorrano, province of Grosseto. At the time of the 2001 census its population amounted to 399.

Giuncarico is about 25 km from Grosseto and 15 km from Gavorrano, and it is situated on a hill along the Via Aurelia highway and easily reached from the Tirrenica railway line thanks to its own station. The village dates back to the Early Middle Ages, when it was a property of the Aldobrandeschi family and then of the Pannocchieschis. It was then conquered by the Republic of Siena during the 14th century.
