		The Maremma is a loyal and devoted guard who sees his main function in life as being the protector of his master and his master's property.
		On the other hand, when suspicious or faced with a threat, the Maremma thinks of himself to be a large dog: he stands erect and alert, his ruff comes up and he becomes what he is: a large dog who can dispose of most threats to his property by virtue of his size and appearance.
		Maremmas normally moult once a year as winter approaches, although central heating can upset this routine, and it is not uncommon to have dogs shedding their coats in mid-winter.

	Maremma, Italy
		The Maremma is a large expanse of low-lying country traversed by drainage canals and broken up by various hills and promontories (former islands); it extends along the coast from the mouth of the River Cécina (south of Livorno) to near the town of Civitavecchia in the region of Latium (Lazio).
		The name Maremma is a form of the adjective maríttima; in prehistoric times the sea reached into this area, leaving a residue in the form of coastal lagoons.
		In Roman times the fertile land of the Maremma was distributed to veterans of the legions; but after the collapse of Roman power the drainage system fell into decay, the land reverted to marsh and malaria became rife.
