Bormida (river)
The Bormida (''Bormia'' in Piedmontese language) is a river of north-west Italy. Toponymy The hydronym ''Bormida'' derives from the pre-Roman Ligurian proto-form ''*bormo'' ('warm or bubbling water'), also linked to the names of the gods of the springs ''Bormō'' and ''Bormānus''. Similar hydronyms are present in the region: the river Borbera and the river Borbore, but also the town of Bormio in Lombardy know since the ancient times for the thermal waters and the town of Burbons les bains in France known for the same reason.

Rivers Of Italy
This is a list of rivers which are at least partially located in Italy. They are organized according to the body of water they drain into, with the exceptions of Sicily and Sardinia, which are listed separately. At the bottom, all of the rivers are also listed alphabetically. Italian rivers are generally shorter than those of other European regions because Italy is partly a Italian Peninsula, peninsula along which the Apennines, Apennine chain rises, dividing the waters into two opposite sides. The longest Italian river is the Po (river), Po, which flows for along the Po Valley. Rivers in Italy total about 1,200, and give rise, compared to other List of sovereign states and dependent territories in Europe, European countries, to a large number of marine mouths. This is due to the relative abundance of rain events in Italy, and to the presence of the Alps, Alpine chain rich in snowfields and glaciers in the northern part of the country, in the presence of the Apennines in the cent ...
