Malone

Malone is a creek in Piedmont that originates in the Graian Alps and flows through the Canavese region before joining the Po River. The waterway passes through several municipalities and creates a natural corridor across the landscape.

The creek was first recorded in medieval documents from Fruttuaria Abbey under the name Amalune during the early Middle Ages. Its presence shaped settlement patterns in the Canavese region over many centuries.

The creek forms part of the regional identity of Canavese territory, flowing through numerous communities that have developed along its banks over centuries.

Water levels change significantly depending on the season, ranging from very low in dry periods to higher flows after rainfall. Conditions can vary greatly depending on when you visit.

The confluence where Malone meets the Po and Orco rivers was designated as a Site of Community Importance in 2005 for conservation reasons. This location protects a sensitive ecosystem where multiple waterways converge.
