Rosignano Marittimo
A medieval village on the Etruscan Coast overlooking the sea
Rosignano Marittimo is a picturesque medieval village perched on top of a hill overlooking the Tyrrhenian coast. Although its name has Roman origins, the gens Rasinia family was part of the Pisan aristocracy that must have owned land in the area, whose oldest centre (called the Castle) was probably built during the 10th century AD.
The town still has an interesting mix of industry, tourism and history with its famous white beaches of Rosignano Solvay.
