The monument to Leopold II, Grand Duke of Tuscany, commonly known as Canapone, is a historical landmark in Grosseto, Italy. The statue stands at the center of Piazza Dante, the city's main square. Leopold II is remembered for initiating significant reforms in the Maremma region, particularly in public health, land reclamation, and infrastructure development, which played a crucial role in transforming the area during the 19th century. The nickname Canapone, affectionately used by the people of Grosseto, is a local reference to the Grand Duke's light-colored hair (canapo meaning "coarse flax").
