The Ceronda (Piedmontese: Sunder or Srunda)[3] is a 22-kilometre (14 mi) long creek in the Piedmont region in northwestern Italy.

Geography

It is formed from several streams that drain the northern slopes of Monte Colombano and converge near Varisella. Flowing from southwest to northeast, it reaches Fiano where it gets out of the Alps and enters into the Po plain turning towards south. After receiving from the right its main tributary, the Casternone, it crosses the Mandria nature park and finally flows into the river Stura di Lanzo in Venaria Reale.
