Eleven-thirty and already thirty degrees. The Maremma is agricultural land and scrubland and very little else, and in September it has the quality of a landscape that has given up trying. The road is straight, the sun is direct, the shadows are almost vertical. We stopped at a petrol station and drank two cans of something cold each. The man at the counter looked at us like people who had made a series of questionable decisions.
