Collesalvetti

The cluster is in the coastal hills above the Tyrrhenian, with the livornese section of the Maremma landscape of wooded slopes, fields and olive groves. The coast around Castiglioncello and Vada is within the local area, with rocky shore at Castiglioncello and sandy beaches and pinewoods toward Vada and Cecina. The nearest larger town is Rosignano Solvay on the coast, with everyday services and rail connections, and Cecina is the other main service centre nearby. Livorno is the nearest city of size for a port, hospital and fuller urban services. Bolgheri and its cypress-lined road are farther south in the wider area but outside the immediate landscape. The area is known for seaside tourism, pinewoods and coastal farmland.
