Arezzo Bodies of Water

The Arno, the biggest and most renowned river in the region of Tuscany, runs from Mount Falterona (near the city of Arezzo), cutting through Florence to Pisa, where it enters the Tyrrhenian Sea. The river has a history of dramatic behavior – water levels can be almost non-existent, then rise to near flood level in a matter of days. Dams built near Florence have alleviated the flood problems of past times. In both Florence and Pisa several grand buildings line the Arno, which adds to the atmosphere when relaxing by the river.
