Montorio is about 90 km from Grosseto and 10 km from Sorano, and it is situated along the Provincial Road which links Sorano to Castell'Azzara.
It was included — along with Castell'Ottieri, San Giovanni delle Contee and the castle of Sopano — in the small County of Ottieri in the Middle Ages. The county was abolished in 1616.[1]
