  Stura di Lanzo - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Stura di Lanzo is a 65 km long river in north-western Italy (Piedmont).
It is formed from several tributaries near Lanzo Torinese.

Its boarders are comprised of the Po River on the south, the Stura di Lanzo on the west, the Alps on the north and the Serra di Ivrea on the east.
The vineyards, the lakes, the castles, and the national park of Gran Paradiso are the elements more caracteristic of the historical, cultural and natural heritage of the region.
The valleys of Lanzo, splendidly green and crowning the Alpine crest, are less known touristically.

The wings are the glacial moraine basins that mark the opening of Valle d'Aosta to the north and Valle di Susa to the south.
The reserve is situated at the confluence of the Stura di Lanzo between Turin and San Mauro.
The Stura di Lanzo conservation area is characterised by a landscape that undergoes continuous change due to the intense activity of the river's water, which causes erosion and sedimentation of the banks.

The most densely populated areas, apart from the main cities, are those at the foot of the mountains with high concentrations in the Turin and Canavese areas, the lower Val di Susa, the Biella area, in the heart of the Novara area and round Alessandria.
Despite remarkable expansion in the industrial and service sectors, agriculture remains one of the fundamental resources: the principal crops are wheat, corn, rice (round Novara and Vercelli), vegetables and fruit, and fodder for the flourishing cattle and pig breeding sector.
A little farther on is Pinerolo (Museo Nazionale dell'Arma di Cavalleria-National Cavalry Museum), at the mouth of Val Chisone (the Fenestrelle fort, herb liqueurs and honey at Pragelato) leading to Sestriere, the first `second generation' European ski resort, the heart of a network of ski runs that cross into French territory.

A sad thing, the three Stura’s are congested with weirs and dams, deviating most of the water for power generation and irrigation.
As we arrived, water on the Stura di Val Grande looked low but as soon as the tents were pitched, rain started pouring down and next morning, the river had a completely different look.
Evening inspection showed that the Stura di Ala was a bit too high for most of us mortals, so day 2 saw us at the Stura di Viu.

 History   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
It is believed that the name Bosconero is nothing more than a translation of the Latin Roveredum (Roveredo) into the colloquial language of the people during the middle ages.
In the year 1000, Roveredo was completely surrounded by an immense forest that extended north toward Feletto and Rivarolo and continued beyond the Malone river down to the Stura di Lanzo.
Unfortunately he was never to see the final product of his efforts because he died a few months later on October 19 1770.

 Po River   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
In Milan it enters the town as a net of channels called navigli, creating a very characteristic area.
Near the end of its course, it creates a wide delta (with hundreds of small channels and 5 main ones called Po di Maestra, Po della Pila, Po delle Tolle, Po di Gnocca and Po di Goro), at the southern part of which is Comacchio, an area famous for eels.
The vast valley around the Po is called Pianura Padana and is so efficiently connected by the river that the whole valley became the main industrial area of the country.

The construction of the tunnels for the line, the stations and the auxiliary works in the central section between piazza Statuto and corso Vittorio Emanuele II, interferes with the presence in the subsurface with the network of defence tunnels of the Cittadella di Torino, better known as Pietro Micca's tunnels.
