Versa (Tanaro)
The Versa, a left tributary of the Tanaro, is a 35-kilometre (22 mi) torrent in the Province of Asti in north-west Italy. It is the river of the valley called Valle Versa. In 1836 the Versa was identified, along with the Rotaldo, the Grana, the Stura and the Gattola, as one of the five torrents of the still extant Province of Casale.[3]

This river is not to be confused with the Versa that is a tributary of the Po.
