The Ellero is a 34.6-kilometre (21.5 mi)[1] long river in northwestern Italy (Piedmont).

Geography[]

The river is a tributary to the river Tanaro, which is a tributary of the river Po. Its source is in Pian Marchisio, a large plateau of the Ligurian Alps. It flows northwards digging the Valle Ellero, which ends in the Po plain near Roccaforte Mondovì.[3] The Ellero then follows its course through the plain turning NE, crosses Villanova Mondovì (where it gets from right hand the , its main tributary) and then after Mondovì, with some meanders, reaches Bastia Mondovì where it joins the river Tanaro.
