Geography The river starts in the Biellese Alps near Bocchetto Sessera, a mountain pass connecting its valley with Val Sessera. Flowing initially from northwest to southeast it reaches Valle Mosso, where it encircles Monte Rovella and turns southwards. In Cossato it gets out of the Alps and enters the Po plain. After receiving from the right its main tributary, the Quargnasca, it flows into the river Cervo.Carta Tecnica Regionale raster 1:10.000 (vers.3.0) of Regione Piemonte - 2007
