Castelnuovo dei Sabbioni is a village (frazione) in the comune of Cavriglia in the province of Arezzo in Tuscany, Italy.

[1] Starting from the mid-sixties, the town was gradually abandoned by the inhabitants due to excavation activity in favor of the nearby Camonti, a newly established hamlet.

This massacre was carried out by units of the 1st Fallschirm-Panzer Division Hermann Göring on July 4, 1944, killing 173 people.

Castelnuovo is located in an important mining basin for the extraction of lignite, which is currently exhausted.

[3] Near this was the so-called "Dispensa", a group of blocks created at the time of the First World War as a dormitory for workers who came to work from afar.
