Borgo Santa Rita is a village in Tuscany, central Italy, administratively a frazione of the comune of Cinigiano, province of Grosseto. At the time of the 2001 census its population amounted to 34. [1]
Borgo Santa Rita is about 33 km from Grosseto and 10 km from Cinigiano. It is situated along the provincial road which links the Grosseto-Siena highway to the Mount Amiata.
The whole territory was property of the counts of Poggio alle Mura ( Montalcino) during the Middle Ages, but the modern village is born as a result of the Maremman Riforma agraria ( land reform) in the early 1960s. [2]
