Aucco is the Maremma term for the howl of the buttero to call the cattle. The buttero was until not long ago an irreplaceable figure in Maremma; he was the herdsman, the man in charge of caring for the animals raised in the wild, which he reached on the backs of sturdy native horses. Today the practice and values of Buttero are carried on by some associations in a folkloric way or following traditions in the Alberese plain. Through the re-enactment of the equestrian show and the exploration of the landscape I therefore decide to document their myth, the essence of a character with a heroic halo who represented and represents the symbol of this ancient land.
