Castagno d'Andrea

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]
