Rosignano Marittimo

A very large and diverse territory

The municipality of Rosignano Marittimo boasts a very large and diverse territory. In addition to the main town, which looks like a classic Tuscan village, elevated above the coast and dominating the plain, there are six other hamlets, all interconnected. Along the coast from north to south are Castiglioncello, a well-known holiday resort, famous for its pine forest and the landscapes depicted by the Macchiaioli, Rosignano Solvay, the most populous hamlet, equipped with services, sports centres and schools, which owes its name to the industrial park created by Ernesto Solvay, and Vada, characterised by numerous campsites and a very active community. Heading inland, there are the three hillside hamlets of Castelnuovo Misericordia, Gabbro and Nibbiaia, characterised by the romantic views of the Tuscan hills, with their woods, trekking trails, cultivated fields and rustic farmhouses converted into comfortable rural guesthouses. Thus, from the sea to the countryside, passing through the city and its archaeological museums, the municipality of Rosignano Marittimo can make full use of its territory, offering tourists various types of experiences and possibilities. Reachable by the A12 motorway and the coastal railway that connects Genoa to Rome, as well as by sea, thanks to the Marina Cala de’ Medici port, Rosignano is located in a strategic point in Tuscany, a stone’s throw from its splendid cities known throughout the world.
