In 1966, seven people were killed and a neighborhood of Reggello was destroyed by a landslide triggered by the same rains that also flooded Florence.

Reggello is home to the Abbey of Vallombrosa, located in the Vallombrosa forest, 10 km (6 mi) from the town centre.

Another sight is the Castle of Sammezzano, located near Leccio, that is a palazzo in Moorish Revival architectural style.

The local football team is called S.S. Resco Reggello, now playing in Promozione division.
