History (Wikipedia): An ancient and flourishing city already during the Etruscan period, which saw a decisive battle in 225 BC between Roman and the Celtic hordes who were heading for Rome. Talamone was then razed to the ground by Sulla for the support that its citizens gave to Gaius Marius in his attempt to march against Rome after the return from his African exile.
Even Talamone as Orbetello, passed through the late Middle Ages without leaving any trace and similarly passed from domain to domain (Aldobrandeschi, Siena), until in 1559 the territory was ceded to Spain also joining the State of Presidi (The state of garrisons).
The port town was also a stage during Admiral Horatio Nelson’s expedition to Egypt, which left in 1798 from Toulon to Naples, stopping at "la rade de Tagliamon sur les côtes de Toscane" just as Napoleon written in his Memoirs, Thibaudeau the general in his Histoire de Napoleon Bonaparte, and Thiers and Tissot in their Histoire de la Révolution Française.
But the city's name is linked to Giuseppe Garibaldi and his thousand soldiers in 1860. When Talamone was annexed to the Kingdom of Italy, he made a stop there to stock up on water and weapons.
Among the monuments of interest is the fortress which stands out from the promontory, overlooking the entire village and along the coastal stretch.
