View from the embankment of the Arno River on the Ponte Vecchio. After heavy and prolonged downpours in the Apennines, dams in the vicinity of Florence ceased to cope with the arriving volumes of water. On the afternoon of November 4, 1966, the water level in some streets reached three meters. About 30 people died.
