Savuto River

Savuto River

The Savuto is a river and valley in Calabria, Italy which lies at the intersection of the provinces of Cosenza and Catanzaro. It is also the name of a DOC wine produced in the region.

The river sorges in the Sila and empties into the Tyrrhenian Sea, at the Gulf of Sant'Eufemia, after a run of 48 km.

The name originates from the latin "Sabatus", and it may also correspond to the Greek "Ocinaros" ("that flows quickly"), on which there was located the ancient town of Temesa.

The Savuto valley is home to many towns (It: "comuni" including: Aprigliano, Parenti, Rogliano, Santo Stefano di Rogliano, Marzi, Carpanzano, Malito, Scigliano, Pedivigliano, Altilia, Grimaldi, Aiello Calabro, Martirano, San Mango d'Aquino, Cleto, and Nocera Terinese known collectively as "towns of the Savuto" (It: "Paesi del Savuto").
