Bocognano (French pronunciation: [bɔkɔɲano]; Corsican: Bucugnà, [bu.ku.ɲa]) is a commune located in the department of Corse-du-Sud, on the island of Corsica, France.

The village, situated at the south-western side of the climb to the Col de Vizzavona, belongs to the micro of Celavo which is historically the capital.

Halfway between Ajaccio and Corte, the village of Bocognano is renowned for its privileged position at the foot of Monte d'Oro, its chestnut woods and waterfall Le Voile de la Mariée.

Below the rocky peaks, clouds, appear odorant alders (bassu in Corsican), and beech woodlands can be found at the top of the valley.

Lower altitudes are covered by forests, mainly composed of oaks and pines, and the chestnut wood located in an area between 600 and 800 meters.

Chestnut trees planted along the road north of the village attracts many collectors and gatherers at the time of hatching bugs.

This small road provides access to the nearby village of Bastelica after a winding 22 km route crossing the neck of the Scalella (1193 m).

It is composed of eleven hamlets: Celli, Busso, Poggiola, Moraschi and Corsacci being the most important, Pietrajolo, Quercioli, Gare, Colleta, Villanova and Erbajo.

Inhabitants were once nomadic herders who practiced transhumance; they spent the summer pastures in the mountains (a muntagnera) and winter on the coast (the impiaghjera), especially in the plains' of Afa .

Organized by the Foyer Rural U Castagnu, this fair is the main event of the end of the year: it attracts thousands of visitors from all corners of the island and more than 150 exhibitors.

If the chestnut, particularly in flour, is the key element of the event, there are also certified products such as honey, brocciu, hazelnut, wine, olive oil, but no charcuterie (the island's speciality).
