"Having crossed Florence and divided it into two parts, freed from the grip of the strong walls that contain and tame its furious impulses, flows gently among the flowering ravines of the marvelous park delle Cascine and the embankments that defend the fertile plains of Legnaja, and with capricious and wide meanderings it heads towards the narrow Golfolina gorge, where the Valdarno Fiorentino gives way and name to the Valdarno Inferiore. And from here, continuing its slow course, it wanders among the wide plains, caresses the extreme slopes of the hills that flank and close the wide valley, to descend into the Tyrrhenian Sea, not far from Pisa, among the quiet of the woods and prairies of Gombo and the joy of the sandy beach, on which a new seaside resort now extends its vast and elegant building. (Guido Carocci)"
