osciandora lies on the left bank of Serchio river and covers an area of ​​19.82 km square. It is possible to get there through Ponte di Ceserana, a real costumhouse of the territory of Tre Terre (3 lands) territory.

Due to its geographical location the climate is mild; this allowed, in the course of time, the cultivation of vines and olive trees , not very common in the valley.

The village is surrounded by chestnut woods, perfect to cool off during the summer time, but also in the autumn, to mushroom picking.

Ceserana lies at the top of a hill dominated by a large Romanesque Church built on the ruins of an ancient castle. La Villa, Lupinaia, Riana and Treppignana are the other hamlets of the Municipality of Fosciandora.

The Sanctuary of Madonna della Stella is a place of pilgrimage; on the first Sunday of August at Prade Garfagnine takes place the traditional shepherds festival, an event not to be missed for those who want to enjoy the fun ​​of the simplest things, such as sack race or tug of war.
