Fifty years ago, on November 4th, 1966, the Arno River flowed over its banks and inundated the great Renaissance City of Florence. David and Ann Wilkins witnessed the flood and were involved in relief work for several months. In this illustrated talk, they will show their photographs of the flood, discuss the extent of the damage, and share episodes from their diaries.
All are welcome, free.
