CASTAGNETO CARDUCCI
Castagneto Carducci is among the best known villages of the Etruscan Coast. Perched on a hill less than 10 km from the sea, Castagneto is developed around the imposing medieval castle located at the highest point of the town.
The city originally called “Castagneto Marittimo” became, in the early 1900s, “Castagneto Carducci” in honor of the famous Italian poet who spent part of his childhood here.
