Natisone / Nadiža
The Natisone at Cividale del FriuliOrigin Punta di Montemaggiore, Julian Prealps Mouth Torre River Basin countries Italy, Slovenia Length 50 Source elevation 415 m Basin area 322 km² The Natisone (Latin: Natiso; Friulian: Nadison; Slovene: Nadiža) is a river that flows for some time as a border river between Slovenia and Italy, continues in Slovenia and then crosses the border and continues in Eastern Friuli, in north-eastern Italy. It is the main tributary of the Torre and a sub-affluent of the Isonzo.
The Natisone is formed at 415 m above sea level on the border between Friuli and Slovenia by the confluence of two streams: the Rio Bianco (Slovene: Beli potok) and the Rio Nero (Slovene: Črni potok) which spring from the Punta di Montemaggiore and Gabrovec mountains. Before the confluence with the Torre, it passes through the communes of Pulfero and Cividale del Friuli.
