The Nera ( Italian la Nera , also il Nera ; Latin Nar ) is a river in central Italy . It is the largest tributary of the Tiber .
course
The sources of the Nera are near Castelsantangelo sul Nera and Visso on Monte Porche (also called Porche di Vallinfante , located in the Monti Sibillini National Park ) in the province of Macerata , Marche . At Triponzo (part of the municipality of Cerreto di Spoleto ) the river enters Umbrian territory and runs in a south-westerly direction through the provinces of Perugia and Terni . Part of the water is led from Triponzo through a 42 km long canal ( Canale medio Nera ) into Lake Piediluco . The upper part of the river valley forms the Valnerina area .
Before Terni, the tributary Velino forms the Cascata delle Marmore waterfall at its confluence with the Nera (near Marmore, district of Terni ) . Shortly afterwards he passes the Roman bridge Ponte del Toro , a bridge ruin today. At Narni the Nera flows through a deep gorge ( Gola del Nera ) and flows into the Tiber from the left at Orte .
Major tributaries of the Nera are the Corno, Velino and Vigi.
