A Peninsula in the river Arno!

We've just finished celebrating the 40th anniversary of the Flood, but this year the river is quite dry. It seems it hasn't rained a lot recently, and just a small amount of water is flowing from Florence.

Due to this fact, a very starnge phenomenon has happened in the city center: on a side of the river a little peninsula has formed. It started about a couple of months ago and made itself bigger little by little. Now it's quite large... and not so nice: the low levewl of water has shown a lot of garbage abandoned in the river.


I really hope it'll soon disappear, letting water flow again!
