Beyond the hills and historic villages, Tuscany is also graced with a stunning coastline that captivates with its golden sandy beaches and rugged cliffs. The coastal towns of Castiglioncello and Viareggio are illustrative of Tuscany’s ability to deliver a diverse landscape that works beautifully for filmmaking.
