Geography
The river rises from monte Frontè, in the comune of Mendatica, not far from the French border. The Arroscia flows east and receives several tributaries. It then joins the Neva and forms with it the Centa, one of the most relevant rivers of western Liguria. The Arroscia has a basin of 289 km2 (112 sq mi) [5].
