Castiglioncello, located at the foot of the beautiful Livorno hills, was once a quaint Etruscan village. Its picturesque hills, enchanting bays, and lush pinewoods have long been a source of inspiration for artists and painters, especially those of the renowned Macchiaioli school. It is rightly hailed as "the pearl of the Tyrrhenian". The crystal-clear waters of Castiglioncello's sea have even been honored with the prestigious blue flag by the European Union.
