Mulino a vento / Windmill (2.0, Orbetello, Tuscany, Italy)

            Italia, Toscana, Orbetello (GR), Inverno 2011

Il Molino Spagnolo, uno dei simboli di Orbetello, è l'unico mulino a vento che si è conservato della serie di nove costruiti dai Senesi e successivamente restaurati dagli Spagnoli, quando la città lagunare divenne la capitale del piccolo Stato dei Presìdi (1557). Il mulino presenta una pianta circolare e, insieme agli altri, era utilizzato per macinare la farina destinata agli abitanti della città. L'edificio, che emerge suggestivamente dalle acque della laguna, si trova all'inizio della diga artificiale fatta costruire dal Granduca Leopoldo II nel 1842 per collegare Orbetello con l'Argentario.

The Molino Spagnolo or Spanish mill is the only windmill which remained from a series of nine built by the Senesi and subsequently restored by the Spanish when the lagoon city became the capital of the little State of Presidi (1557). The mill has a circular shape and, along with the others, was used to grind the flour destined to the city’s inhabitants. Suggestively rising from the lagoon, the building is located at the beginning of an artificial dam built by Grand Duke Leopold II in 1842 to connect Orbetello to Argentario.
