After the confluence of the Torrite near Romiti, the torrent, now uniformly known as the Turrite Cava, runs eastwards and reaches the center of Fabbriche di Vallico . Here he passes the 14th century customs bridge Ponte della Dogana . After Fabbriche di Vallico, the river moves northeast and flows under the 14th century bridge Ponte ai Molini (Bridge at the Mills) at Località Molini , after which it enters the municipality of Gallicano . Here he spends a large part as the municipal boundary between Gallicano (3 km) and Borgo a Mozzano (2 km). After Pontaccio (Gallicano) and its stone arch bridge from the 14th century, the river provincial road SP 37 crosses under and reaches the built 1937-1939 and the Enel operated reservoir Lago di Turrite Cava (also Bacino di Cardora called). This extends over 1200 × 70 m, the dam wall height is 35 m. Shortly afterwards, the Turrite Cava reaches the place Turritecava, a district of Gallicano on the municipal border with Borgo a Mozzano, and flows as a right tributary into the Serchio.
