The Tanaro ((:ˈtaːnaro)), known as Tanarus in ancient times and ''Tane'' or ''Tani'' in piedmontese language, is a long river in northwestern Italy. It 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. At its confluence with Po, it is longer by about than the upper Po, a case similar to the famous Missouri tributary being longer than Mississippi in the United States. ==Sources== The Tanaro proper begins in Liguria at the confluence of two small streams, the sources of which are in Piedmont: the Tanarello and the Negrone. The main source of the Tanarello is on the slopes of Monte Saccarello above Monesi, a village belonging to the commune of Triora. This mountain straddles the French département of Alpes-Maritimes, the Piedmontese province of Cuneo and the Ligurian province of Imperia and marks the juncture of the watersheds between three drainage basins: that of the Tanaro itself; that of the Roya , which rises in France but enters the sea at Ventimiglia; and the Argentina, which flows into the Ligurian Sea at Taggia. The sources of the Negrone are some to the north, south of Punta Marguereis and very close to the French border. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Tanaro」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
