ARNUS

Volume 2 · 92 words · 1815 Edition

now Arno, a very rapid river of Tuscany, which it divides, and in its course washes Florence and Pisa; rising in the Apennines, to the east of Florence, near a village called S. Maria della Gratie, on the borders of Romagna, 15 miles to the west of the sources of the Tiber; and then turning southwards towards Arezzo, it is there increased by the lakes of the Clarnis; after which it runs eastward, dividing Florence into two parts, and at length washing Pisa, falls eight miles below it into the Tuscan sea.
