Florence was sleeping while the disaster was growing up: at four o’clock in the night the Arno started to receive the flood waves both from the dam located in Valdarno and from the affluent rivers which were awfully overflowing after 4 days of continuous strong rain. The water rose up to 4 meters in Santa Croce and in the city center, rushing through the narrow streets, killing about 30 people and damaging buildings, art masterpieces, frescoes, sculptures, pictures and thousands of ancient books.
