(Redirected from Trebbia River)
The 'Trebbia' (stressed ''Trèbbia'') is a
river of
Liguria and
Emilia Romagna in northern
Italy. It is one of the four main right-bank tributaries of the river
Po, the other three being the
Tanaro, the
Secchia and the
Panaro. The 1,150 km² (444 square miles) drainage basin is divided between Emilia Romagna (770 km², 300 mi²), Liguria (349 km², 135 mi²) and
Lombardy (31 km², 12 mi²). Its principal tributaries are the
torrents Aveto and Perino (from the right) and the torrent Boreca (from the left).
Its source is in the
Ligurian Apennines on the hill called Monte Prelà , to the south of Monte Antola in the ''
comune'' of
Torriglia,
Province of Genoa. From there it flows towards north-east for 105 km (65 miles), until it reaches the Po just to the west of
Piacenza.

The Trebbia valley in July, a few kilometres upstream from
Bobbio.
The main centres through which it flows before Piacenza are
Ottone,
Marsaglia (in the ''comune'' of
Corte Brugnatella),
Bobbio, Perino (a ''
frazione'' of
Coli),
Travo and
Rivergaro.
Between its source and Bobbio the river flows through a valley (the 'Val Trebbia') of great natural beauty, which attracts tourists for walking as well as for aquatic sports. The river valley then widens before merging with the
Pianura Padana beyond Rivergaro.
Along its eastern banks in
218 BC was fought one of the battles of the
Second Punic War: the
Battle of Trebbia, where
Hannibal defeated a
Roman consular army.
