  1. Motta and the two rivers: Livenza andMonticano Course, tributaries and towns along their banks

  2. THE main RIVER AT mOTTA La Livenza

  3. WHERE WAS THE LIVENZA BORN? The Livenzariver rises in Friuli Venezia Giulia, a region which borders Veneto, in a place named GORGAZZO. The place where the river springs, has a karstic characteristic and water comes out from a narrow gorge at the feet of the Cansiglio Park in Friuli. The hole from which water rises is funnel-shaped; under the earth the waters gather coming from the upstanding park and the drainage basin is probably 90KM long. The GORGAZZO was frequently searched by underwater speleologists in past times, but after many incidents they gave up. Two kilometres farther there is a second spring of the river Livenza, just near the Santissima Sanctuary.

  4. The course of the river Along its course, the river bed marks the boundaries between VENETO and FRIULI-VENEZIA GIULIA touching numerous municipalities; among them there are: Polcenigo, Caneva,  Fontanafredda, Sacile, Gaiarine,  Brugnera, Portobuffolè, Prata di Pordenone,Mansuè, Pasiano di Pordenone, Gorgo al Monticano, Meduna di Livenza, Motta di Livenza, San Stino di Livenza, Cessalto, Torre di Mosto, Eraclea e Caorle.

  5. The tributary Il Monticano

  6. Where was the Monticano born ? The MONTICANO river, in ancient venetian language “MONTEGAN”, flows entirely in Veneto and exactly , in the territory of the province of Treviso. It starts to flow in the open air from the mount PIAI, 540 metres high, from three different springs, exactly at COZZUOLO in VITTORIO VENETO, and the three branches are named Monticanello, Rio Montagnana, Rio Col di Stella. Rio Montagnana is considered the main tributary for the MONTICANO. One hundred metres farther, the Rio Col di Stella makes a jump of 50 metres and creates a fall named Pisson. The pool at the end of the fall can be easily reached through a gorge made of malm, sandstone and conglomerate: it is a spectacular view.
