The Tusciano is a river of Campania in southern Italy.
The source is between Monte Polveracchio and Monte Cervialto, in the Monti Picentini range of the southern Apennines.[1] It passes through the territories of Acerno and Campagna, where it runs at the foot of Monte Costa Calda, then enters the commune of Olevano sul Tusciano. Having passed the settlements of Ariano and Monticelli it crosses Battipaglia to flow into the Tyrrhenian Sea at Spineta on the Gulf of Salerno.
