Its medieval stone houses cluster around a Romanesque church, while terraced olive groves and vineyards cascade down the slopes. The surrounding Apuan Alps provide a dramatic backdrop, perfect for hiking and photography. Visitors can explore the nearby Garfagnana region, known for its chestnut forests and farm-to-table cuisine, or simply soak in the panoramic views from the village piazza. With few tourists, Fosciandora offers an authentic slice of rural Italian life, where time slows down and the scent of wild herbs fills the air.",[10,13,16,19],{"key":11,"value":12},"Police","113",{"key":14,"value":15},"Ambulance","118",{"key":17,"value":18},"Fire","115",{"key":20,"value":21},"EU Emergency","112",[23,26,29,32,35,38,41],{"key":24,"value":25},"Do I need a visa?","EU citizens: no visa.
