Tinella
Encyclopedia
The Tinella, the principal tributary of the Belbo
, is a minor stream of Piedmont
in northwestern Italy whose course falls entirely within the Province of Cuneo
.
Its sources are a number of springs in the hills near Trezzo Tinella
. For 24 km it follows a narrow and confined course through the Langhe
, making a broad arc to the south-east, then joins the Belbo
above Santo Stefano Belbo
Its regime is typical of a small Apeninne torrent: its discharge—normally very modest—can turn to a violent flood in the event of heavy precipitation.
