The Mazaro (spelt also as Màzaro) is a river in Sicily, Italy.
The Mazaro river flows 28 km across South-Western Sicily[1], from its source in Rapicaldo, located within the Salemi city boundaries, to the Mediterranean Sea in Mazara del Vallo.
"Mad sea" phenomenon
The river is characterized by a periodical phenomenon locally known as marrobbio (also known in English as "mad sea"), which consist in rapid and dramatic sea level oscillations seemingly caused by sudden atmospheric pressure changes;[2] similar phenomenons were observed only in a very few other places in the world, including Nagasaki Bay in Japan (where the phenomenon is known as abiki) and Ciutadella (in Menorca, Spain, where it is called rissaga).[2]
