ADDA (anc. Addua)

This article appears in Volume V01, Page 183 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: ADA-AIZ
ADDA (anc. Addua) , a river of North
Italy
 . Its true source is in some small lakes near the head of the Fragile glen, but its volume is increased by the
union
  with several smaller streams, near the town of Bormio, at the Raetian Alps. Thence it flows first S.W., then due W., through the fertile Valtellina (q.v.), passing Tirano, where the Poschiavino falls in on the right, and
Sondrio
 , where is the junction with the Malero, right. It falls into the Lake of Como, at its northern end, and mainly forms that lake. On issuing from its
south
 -eastern or Lecco arm, it crosses the plain of Lombardy, and finally, after a course of about 150 m., joins the Po, 8 m. above Cremona. The
lower
  course of the
Adda
  was formerly the boundary between the territories of Venice and of
Milan
 ; and on its
banks
  several important battles have been fought, notably that of Lodi, where
Napoleon
  defeated the Austrians in 1796. (W. A. B. C.)
