Versa (Tanaro)
Encyclopedia
The Versa, a left tributary of the Tanaro, is a 35 kilometre torrent
in the Province of Asti
in north-west Italy. It is the river of the valley called Valle Versa. In 1836 the Versa was identified, along with the Rotaldo
, the Grana
, the Stura
and the Gattola
, as one of the five torrents of the still extant Province of Casale.
Its source is a little to the north of Cocconato
near the border with the Province of Turin
. After a generally southerly course of 35 km it enters the Tanaro just to the east of Asti
.
This river is not to be confused with the Versa
that is a tributary of the Po.
