The Mugnone is a river in Italy that runs through Florence and is a tributary to the Arno. [1] [2] [3] [4] The river has been known since Roman times. [1] The river historically flowed into the Arno near the Ponte Vecchio, which is why the city was founded there (at the historic confluence of the Mugnone and the Arno). [1] The river was diverted in the 1280s during construction of the new city walls. [1]
