Founded around 1600, the village is essentially an open-air museum. Thanks to the art critic Tommaso Paloscia, who loved spending his holidays here, Castagno inherited an important artistic heritage between 1975 and 2004, transforming it into a village with an open-air museum.

This valuable collection continues to grow, with new works being added even beyond the “walls,” marking the beginning of a project to extend the museum into the surrounding landscape. This initiative has created new slow-paced routes that blend art and nature.

Today, Castagno boasts as many as 60 works of art. To spot them all, one must take a careful look around.
