Tinella

Tinella is a creek that winds through Lombardy for about 11 kilometers, starting from springs in Campo dei Fiori regional park and ending where it flows into Lake Varese. Along its course, two main branches merge near historical structures in Luvinate while descending through varying elevations.

The creek's two main branches meet near the historical structures of Cascine Zambella and Tinello in Luvinate. This merger represents a significant point in how the waterway formed and developed in the region.

The creek flows through a narrow valley in its eastern section, where four natural springs have served local people for generations.

To reach the creek's sources, use the marked trail in Campo dei Fiori park, which starts near Via Giacomo Leopardi. Access points are available during park hours and provide good conditions for a visit.

The creek flows with a consistent 10 percent gradient throughout its journey and serves as one of the main water sources feeding Lake Varese. This steady slope shapes its character as a fast-flowing mountain stream.
