Etymology
The name Strona should come from storn or strom, celtic roots for flowing waters or rivers.Comuni della Provincia di Biella, page 140; AA.VV, Nerosubianco edizioni, Cuneo 2005
Geography
The river starts in the Biellese Alps near Bocchetto Sessera, a mountain pass connecting its valley with Val Sessera.
Flowing initially from northwest to southeast it reaches Valle Mosso, where it encircles Monte Rovella and turns southwards. In Cossato it gets out of the Alps and enters into the Po plain. After receiving from the right its main tributary, the Quargnasca, it flows into the river Cervo.Carta Tecnica Regionale raster 1:10.000 (vers.3.0) of Regione Piemonte - 2007
