Rispescia (Italian: [riˈspeʃʃa]), or Santa Maria di Rispescia, is a small town in southern Tuscany, a frazione of the comune of Grosseto, situated about 10 km south-east of the capital, right outside the Natural Park of Maremma, near the frazione of Alberese.
The small town developed in the course of 20th century, after the complete reclamation of the Maremman plains and the land reform. In the eastern outskirts of the residential area stands the Centre for Environmental Education of Legambiente, where the exhibition of Festambiente is held every month of August.
