Geography
Rende stretches from the left river of the Crati to the mountains called "Serre Cosentine".
- Southern borders: Cosenza, Castrolibero, Marano Marchesato.
- Northern borders: Montalto Uffugo and San Vincenzo la costa.
- Western borders: San Fili.
- Eastern borders: Castiglione Cosentino, Rose, San Pietro in Guarano and Zumpano. The territory presents mountain areas from west that degrade slowly eastward forming hills, one of which is the historic centre, until to the valley of the Crati. Thanks to large flat areas, it is covered by the modern city. The most important rivers crossing Rende are Crati, Campagnano, Surdo and Emoli.

Famous quotes containing the word geography:
“Ktaadn, near which we were to pass the next day, is said to mean “Highest Land.” So much geography is there in their names.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Yet America is a poem in our eyes; its ample geography dazzles the imagination, and it will not wait long for metres.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“The totality of our so-called knowledge or beliefs, from the most casual matters of geography and history to the profoundest laws of atomic physics or even of pure mathematics and logic, is a man-made fabric which impinges on experience only along the edges. Or, to change the figure, total science is like a field of force whose boundary conditions are experience.”
—Willard Van Orman Quine (b. 1908)
