History
Capalbio Scalo developed in the second half of the 19th century around the railway station, inaugurated in 1885 on the shores of Lake Burano, which was built after the closure of an earlier station at Nunziatella in 1867. The settlement expanded mainly during the 20th century, particularly after the 1951 land reform, and became the main inhabited centre of the coastal area of the municipality due to its location between the railway and the Via Aurelia.
Geography
Capalbio Scalo is located about 50 km south of Grosseto and 9 km southwest of Capalbio, in the plain of southern Maremma, between the Capalbio hills and the Tyrrhenian Sea. The village is situated near the northern shore of Lake Burano, separated from it by the railway line. The lake and its surroundings were first designated a wetland of international importance under the Ramsar Convention in 1977, before becoming a state nature reserve in 1980. Lake Burano is a brackish lagoon with an average depth of about one metre, separated from the Tyrrhenian Sea by a narrow dune belt, and represents one of the best-preserved coastal areas in the region.
