Castellina, located between the provinces of Pisa and Livorno, is a fascinating medieval village whose origins date back to the Etruscan era. This enchanting place stands on Mount Vitalba, the highest peak of the Pisan hills, which hosts a wind farm and connects the municipalities of Castellina and Chianni via the panoramic Montevaso road. From the top of this hill, on clear days, you can admire a breathtaking view that extends from Volterra to the Tuscan archipelago and the Tuscan-Emilian Apennines.
