Castagno d'Andrea
Frazione in Italy
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Castagno d'Andrea is a frazione of the comune of San Godenzo, in the Metropolitan City of Florence, Tuscany (Italy). It is located within the Foreste Casentinesi, Monte Falterona, Campigna National Park.
It has only a single osteria, but many walking trails.[1] Trekking over the Apennines to the national parks, the chestnut trees for which the village is named, the village osteria and a handful of bed and breakfast spots and bars, and the local church (Chiesa di San Martin) are the major tourist draws.[2]
It was thought to be the birthplace of the painter Andrea del Castagno, although this has been disputed due to its location, "literally at the end of the road."[3]
