Fabbiano is a frazione of Seravezza, in the province of Lucca, Italy. It is a small hamlet located in the Versilia mountains in Tuscany and has a population of just 96.

The population is particularly young given that 91 of the 96 inhabitants are of school age, 40 of whom are at least 15 years old.[1]

Quarries around the town were an important source of white marble in the 17th century, and the production of tiles in Fabbiano led to its inhabitants being called piastrellai (tile makers in English).[2]
