Strona di Mosso Valley

Strona di Mosso Valley (in Italian Valle Strona di Mosso or, simply, Valle di Mosso) is a valley in north-east of Piedmont in the Province of Biella, Italy.

Etymology
The valley takes its name from Strona di Mosso, a right-hand tributary of the Cervo which flows through the valley. In the names of some of the towns and villages of the valley the term Mosso is also included, like i.e. Mosso Santa Maria, Valle Mosso or Crocemosso.
