History
The Capalbio plain remained sparsely populated for centuries, and the settlement developed only in the 20th century following the complete reclamation of the Maremma plain and the agrarian reform launched in 1951. The locality of Carige was selected for the construction of a new village intended to serve as a service and social centre for approximately 400 farms spread across a rural area of about 5,000 hectares between Capalbio and the coast. Construction began in July 1956, and the village was inaugurated on 3 May 1958. The original core consisted of the parish church and rectory, a social building with a bar and shops, a post office with a medical clinic, an elementary school, a nursery, a residential building for teachers, and a movie theatre.
