Description
Rome, the River Tevere by Andrea Mazzocchetti
A view of Rome on the Tiber river, an enchanting and magical place to take a walk. it is the main river of central and peninsular Italy; with 405 km of course it is the third Italian river in length (after the Po and the Adige). Second only to the Po for the extent of the river basin (17 375 km²), with 240 m³ / s of average annual flow to the mouth it is also the third national waterway (after the Po and the Ticino) for transport volume. It is also the 1st Apennine river in terms of length and reach. The source of the Tiber river is located on the slopes of Monte Fumaiolo at 1 268 m s.l.m., on the side that turns towards Tuscany, near the Balze, a fraction of the municipality of Verghereto (in the Province of Forlì-Cesena). The bridges of Rome climbed over the Tiber when Rome had steadily taken possession of the left bank of the river; in fact until that moment, for defensive reasons, it was not considered convenient to build bridges that could potentially be used by the enemy to enter the city. Even when they were built, the first bridges were made of wood, just to be destroyed in case of enemy attack. Only when the Romans felt sure of their power, they began to build bridges of stone.
