Castiglioncello :
The most romantic village on the Livorno coast
Castiglioncello is perched between pine forests and white cliffs whilst overlooking the Tyrrhenian Sea. Well-known for its beautiful beaches, coastal views and picturesque sunsets, Castiglioncello became a popular holiday destination in the 1960’s made famous by flashes of paparazzi hunting for the famous faces of the Italian dolce vita: Sofia Loren, Aldo Giuffré, Alberto Sordi, Vittorio Gassman, Guido Mannari and Marcello Mastroianni. During this era, Castiglioncello was used as the set and main backdrop for Dino Risi’s famous film, Il sorpasso, starring Vittorio Gassman and Jean-Louis Trintignant, which is still talked about today.
