They loved the nature and scenery so much that they started incorporating what they saw in their paintings, which became the best advertisement ever for the developing resort. I will also tell you how famous politicians, writers and actors chose Castiglioncello to spend their holidays and why this brought many well-off people in town. Today you can go there and walk in their footsteps, from the castle that has taken the place of the house where the Macchiaioli stayed to the stocky tower that dominates the little bay to the little museum where you can see copies of their masterpieces. While you're at it, I will describe you the many coves and beaches where you can have a great day by the sea, a bunch of stuff to do in this interesting town and a couple great places where you can have a great meal. Summer may be far away but you won't be disappointed if you spend a couple of days in Castiglioncello. If you give it a chance, it will steal your heart.
