Fosciandora is a country of border between Tuscany and Emilia, between Garfagnana and Lucca. The territory has a lot of fortifications built in the time by the Longobardi, Lucchesi, the Este of Ferrara, Modenesi, Massa and Pisa. A main point testimony is the Fortress of Ceserana.

Ceserana church in Fosciandola

On the way to Castelnuovo, a stopover in the nearby XV century town of Fosciandora is a must. The outlying wards that make up the municipality are all situated on the hills, along the scenic road that climbs up the steep slopes and gives visitors the opportunity to admire the castles of Perpoli, Palleroso e Fiattone. Fosciandora became the administrative centre only in 1846; before this time the territory was governed by the castle of Ceserana (today one of the wards), alodial estate of the Countess Matilde.


The small centre has kept its medieval aspect with the castle, the church and the tower. Summer here is enlivened by many festivals such as the pilgrimage to the shrine of the Stella of Migliano and the Festival of the "emigrant-tourist" held in the Moscardini Villa at Fosciandora.
