geography
The source of the Bussento rises at La Raia del Pedale, a 1,521 m high mountain near Rofrano in the province of Salerno ( Campania ). In the further course it flows first in an easterly direction past the north located Sanza , to then flow further in a south direction. It then disappears from the surface north of Caselle in Pittari , only to reappear five kilometers further south at Morigerati . After a short western course, the Bussento finally flows south into the Mediterranean, more precisely into the Tyrrhenian Sea at Policastro Bussentino .
Hydrology
The water of the Bussento comes mainly from the spring and smaller inlets.
