Negrone
The Negrone is an long stream principally in Italy that flows through the regions of Piedmont and Liguria. Rising at Cime de Missun in the Ligurian Alps of France, the river, alongside the Tanarello, forms the Tanaro river, itself a tributary of the Po. The Negrone is known by several other names in different areas. Etymology The origin of ''Negrone'' is uncertain; a combination of ''negro'' (black) and the suffix '' -one'', it is traced by some to the dark colour of the rocks that emerge in various parts of the creek bed, while others have suggested that the name is derived from the shadyness of the valley traversed by the stream. Course The Negrone originates as the Giareto or Ciairello stream on the eastern slope of the Cime de Missun in the Ligurian Alps of France, near the France–Italy border. It then flows a northeasterly course into the municipality of Briga Alta, Piedmont, in Northwest Italy. After briefly flowing into Liguria, after the stream reaches the St ...

Tanarello
The Tanarello is a small river (stream) in Italy that gives rise to—alongside the Negrone—the Tanaro river in Liguria. Rising from springs located on the northern slope of Monte Saccarello in the Ligurian Alps in Piedmont, the Tanarello flows a northerly course into Linguria, before joining the Negrone at Pian Laiardo—between the municipalities of Cosio d'Arroscia and Ormea—to form the Tanaro. Course The Tanarello rises from springs located on the northern slope of Monte Saccarello in the Ligurian Alps, in the Province of Cuneo, Piedmont, Italy. It flows an easterly course through the municipality of Briga Alta, then takes a northeasterly course once it reaches the Province of Imperia in Liguria. Maintaining its course, it passes through the village of Monesi before reaching Pian Laiardo—between the municipalities of Cosio d'Arroscia and Ormea—where it is joined by the Negrone river, giving rise to the Tanaro The Tanaro (; pms, Tane ; ; la, Tanarus), is a ...

Tanaro
The Tanaro (; pms, Tane ; ; la, Tanarus), is a long river in northwestern Italy. The river begins in the Ligurian Alps, near the border with France, and is the most significant right-side tributary to the Po in terms of length, size of drainage basin (partly Alpine, partly Apennine), and discharge.
