Borgo Santa Rita is a village in Tuscany, central Italy, administratively a frazione of the comune of Cinigiano, province of Grosseto. At the time of the 2001 census its population amounted to 34.[1]

Borgo Santa Rita is about 33 km from Grosseto and 10 km from Cinigiano, and it is situated along the provincial road which links the Grosseto-Siena highway to the Mount Amiata.

History

The whole territory was property of the counts of Poggio alle Mura (Montalcino) during the Middle Ages, but the modern village is born as a result of the Maremman Riforma agraria (land reform) in the early 1960s.[2]
