Grue (river)
The Grue is a torrent in north-west Italy, a right tributary of the Scrivia, whose course lies entirely within the Province of Alessandria, Piedmont. The river’s source is at Bocchetta del Barillaro, at an elevation of close to the watershed with the Val Borbera. The river follows a tortuous course through the Ligurian Apennines, and between the hills of Tortona, before entering the Po plain at Viguzzolo.

Brevenna
The Brevenna is a creek (in Italian ''torrente'') of Liguria, Italy. Etymology The origin of the name ''Brevenna'' is certainly not Latin, and may not be Indo-European or Germanic. Linguists connect it to ''brev'', a pre Indo-European root meaning ''stiff from cold''. Sometimes the name of the creek is considered to be of feminine gender (''la Brevenna'') (mainly in old documents). River course The creek is formed near the village of Tonno (comune of Valbrevenna) from the union of ''rio di Tonno'' (coming from Monte Antola) with ''rio dell'Orso'', which collects the waters descending the southern slopes of Monte Buio. After a brief stretch heading south the Brevenna receives the ''rio Senarega'' from its left and then turns west. The following part of its course is rather meandering and reaches ''Molino Vecchio'', the administrative centre of Valbrevenna. Downstream from the village, the Brevenna turns southeast and, flanked for a long stretch by the provincial road nr. ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
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 ...

Busalla
Busalla is a ''comune'' (municipality) in the Metropolitan City of Genoa in the Italian region Liguria, located about north of Genoa. Its territory is crossed by the upper valley of the Scrivia river. Nearby is the artificial Lake Busalletta. History The first known mention of Busalla is in an 1192 document. Later it is known to have been held by the Spinola family, who here built a castle. This was sacked several times in the following century, in the course of the Wars of Guelphs and Ghibellines. In the 16th century the structure, again in ruins, was used as foundation of a new palace for the Spinola. Busalla became part of the Republic of Genoa in 1728. In 1815, together with the latter, it was acquired by the Kingdom of Sardinia.

Po (river)
The Po ( , ; la, Padus or ; Ancient Ligurian: or ) is the longest river in Italy. It flows eastward across northern Italy starting from the Cottian Alps. The river's length is either or , if the Maira, a right bank tributary, is included. The headwaters of the Po are a spring seeping from a stony hillside at Pian del Re, a flat place at the head of the Val Po under the northwest face of Monviso. The Po then extends along the 45th parallel north before ending at a delta projecting into the Adriatic Sea near Venice. It is characterized by its large discharge (several rivers over 1,000 km have a discharge inferior or equal to the Po). It is, with the Rhône and Nile, one of the three Mediterranean rivers with the largest water discharge. As a result of its characteristics, the river is subject to heavy flooding. Consequently, over half its length is controlled with embankments. The river flows through many important Italian cities, including Turin, Piacenza, Cremona and Ferr ...

Rivers Of The Province Of Genoa
A river is a natural flowing watercourse, usually freshwater, flowing towards an ocean, sea, lake or another river. In some cases, a river flows into the ground and becomes dry at the end of its course without reaching another body of water. Small rivers can be referred to using names such as creek, brook, rivulet, and rill. There are no official definitions for the generic term river as applied to geographic features, although in some countries or communities a stream is defined by its size. Many names for small rivers are specific to geographic location; examples are "run" in some parts of the United States, "burn" in Scotland and northeast England, and "beck" in northern England. Sometimes a river is defined as being larger than a creek, but not always: the language is vague. Rivers are part of the water cycle. Water generally collects in a river from precipitation through a drainage basin from surface runoff and other sources such as groundwater recharge, springs ...
