Castiglioncello has
Etruscan origins. In fact in the Castiglioncello Necropolis was found a wonderful Etruscan alabaster urn, probably of the second century BC. In the seventeenth century, this territory belonged to the Medici family and the watchtower of the town dates back to this period. The town has always been chosen by people as a holiday resort and in the nineteenth century the artistic movement of the
Macchiaioli was created right here with some of the most famous Italian painters of that time who painted the most characteristic places of the area. The
Pasquini Castle was built in the late nineteenth century and the railway station was opened in 1910. Throughout the twentieth century, artists, actors and directors have chosen this place for their vacations thus making the town famous.
During your vacation in a farmhouse in Castiglioncello you can taste some of the local products and, of course, taste the typical dishes of Castiglioncello. Obviously, being in the province of Livorno, we suggest that you try the 'cacciucco', a famous fish soup with tomato, red pepper and slices of toasted bread. In addition, the 'baccalà alla livornese' (fried cod with tomato, onion, garlic, parsley) will delight those who love this type of fish. Among the first courses, the tagliolini allo scoglio rosso are a type of pasta with a delicious fish sauce. Taste then the typical desserts of Castiglioncello: the 'mattonella dai dai' which is prepared with pine nuts and honey.
