The campaign castagnetana discovered in recent years, almost by chance, to become the capital of tourism in the open air. In the ranking of most livable tourist destinations, drawn up by Legambiente, Castagneto Carducci was the first in Tuscany and the third world, for no less than six times in ultuimi ten years Castagneto Carducci was Blue Flag, recognition given by the EEC with the seaside resorts the services more efficient and cleaner sea.

The name derives from "castaneam" and is therefore bound to local resources.
The most plausible explanation is that the chestnut was used not for its fruit, but as wood and coal furnace steel.
Castagneto Carducci is a small village located on the hilltop on which dominates the Castle of the Gherardesca, once surrounded by walls.
Around the castle, which in its long history has undergone many remakes, like the parish church whose building probably dates from the Mille, has developed a second village scheme of concentric rings that give life to a system of streets, alleys and squares .
Center of the country is the way Vittorio Emanuele, which leads to the Piazza del Popolo, behind which there is a natural terrace whose name, Piazzale Belvedere, can imagine the beauty that can scrutinize turning our gaze to this splendid view.
In this life take place during the years numerous historical and tourist events.
