Cruzzini

The Cruzzini (French pronunciation: [kʁutsini]; or Cruzini; Corsican: Cruzinu) is a river in the center of the department of Corse-du-Sud, Corsica, France. It is a tributary of the river Liamone. The valley is isolated, heavily wooded, and surrounded by high and steep mountains. There is little tourism, and the population is poorer and older than in the island as a whole. The Cruzzini is 27.64 kilometres (17.17 mi) long. It crosses the communes of Azzana, Lopigna, Pastricciola, Rezza, Rosazia and Salice. It rises in the commune of Pastricciola on the border with the department of Haute-Corse to the south of the 2,021 metres (6,631 ft) Punta all'Altore. It flows in a generally west of southwest direction to its confluence with the Liamone. In its upper section it flows past the villages of Chiusa, Pastricciola, Rezza and Azzana, and is followed by the D104 or D4 road on its right (north) bank. Lower down it is followed by the D125 road and passes the village of Lopigna on its left (south) bank.
