Stura

STURA(Stura), a river of Northern Italy, one of the confluents of the Padus (Plin. Nat. 3.16. s. 20), which joins that river a few miles below Turin(Augusta Taurinorum), within a few miles of the Duria Minor or Dora Riparia. It still retains its ancient name and is a considerable stream, rising in the glaciers of the Alps, between the Roche Melonand Mont Iseran.
