It is fed by several ditches that always enter the right bank of the river.
The creek was born in the locality of LE PIANE in the municipality of Massa and Cozzile as “Fosso del Cessana”. “Standipesce or Standipescio” was the ancient medieval name of the stream, which was preserved until the early 800.Ĭessana probably comes from the Latin “Cessus” that is impervious and hidden, to identify perhaps the high part, very wooded, of the water stream. The torrent Cessana, along with other smaller scattered in the area, gave energy to mills (some still visible today) allowing the production of flour and olive oil that have always been the basis of the food of the territory. Water was a basic element for the birth and development of both the castles of Buggiano, Colle and Stignano and the town of Borgo a Buggiano. You can meet this waterway along the Via Cessana, the asphalt road that connects Borgo to Buggiano to Campioni, but also following the different paths that cross it. It will allow you to discover the local flora, history pills, curiosity of the place and breathe in the scents of the forest and countryside. Walking along the Cessana Stream is a very suggestive experience.
