  Turin is in northwest Italy. It is surrounded on the western and northern front by the Alps and on the eastern front by a high hill that is the natural continuation of the hills of Monferrato. Four major rivers pass through the city: the Po and three of its tributaries, the River Dora Riparia (once known as Duria Minor by the Romans, from the Celtic noun duria, 'water'), the Stura di Lanzo and the Sangone.
