At first sight, it could look like a scene from a Western: a man on horseback crossing the pastures to guard the livestock. Only this is not Texas, but Canale Monterano, where the figure of the buttero embodies the history and identity of the Lazio Maremma.
Here, however, the horse is not a symbol of the past but a working tool and a direct link with a centuries-old tradition that continues to shape the area, with practices handed down from generation to generation and safeguarded above all by the Butteri di Canale Monterano association.
