Azzana is a commune in the Corse-du-Sud department on the island of Corsica, France.
Azzana is located some 13 km north-east of Casaglione and 10 km north-west of Bocognano. Access to the commune is by road D4 from Salice in the west which passes through the centre of the commune and the village before continuing east to Rezza. The D125 goes south-west from the village to Lopigna. Apart from the village there is the hamlet of Vignamajo towards the south. The commune is remote and rugged with snow-capped mountains in the north and south and very extensive forests.[3]
