Castiglioncello (formerly Castiglione Mondiglio) is a frazione of 3800 inhabitants of the comune of Rosignano Marittimo, in the province of Livorno, Tuscany, Italy.

Located in a privileged position from the panoramic point of view, away from major roads, has remained until modern times untouched, with its pine forests and cliffs close to the Ligurian Sea.

Castiglioncello has become famous in the sixties of last century as a vacation destination of important members of the world of cinema, such as Alberto Sordi, Guido Mannari and Marcello Mastroianni.

People who made their homes here also include Luigi Pirandello, Luchino Visconti and Vittorio Gassman.

Castiglioncello was also the set of the famous movie Il Sorpasso by Dino Risi, with Vittorio Gassman and Jean-Louis Trintignant.
