Arno River

The Arno is one of the most important rivers in central Italy and for sure one of Tuscany’s most vital natural source. The 241 kilometre-long river originates from Mount Falterona in the Casentino area. Initially it moves sothward, then turns to the west near Arezzo. The fertile valley of its middle course is called the Valdarno, then it passes through Florence, Empoli and Pisa, finally flowing into the Tyrrhenian Sea, at Marina di Pisa (precisely in Bocca d’Arno, that means "mouth of the Arno").

In the different names of places in Tuscany, the word "Arno" crops up often: this is because the river has always played a key role in the local development. Today we’re going to visit the main towns and villages along the Arno River, from the beginning to the end. During its journey the river flows through major cities such as Florence, Pisa, Empoli, Santa Croce and Pontedera.
