1966 - 2026 Sixty years since the flood: the living memory of Pontassieve
Varie sedi nel territorio comunale di Pontassieve
Organised by Comune di Pontassieve
From 2 to 25 November 2026, Pontassieve commemorates the 1966 flood with a series of events at various venues across the municipal area. Period photographs, historical documents and first-hand accounts reconstruct the emergency of those days and the community's response. Alongside the archival material, there will be readings and stories about the flooding of the Arno and the Sieci stream, with excerpts drawn from testimonies collected at the time and from children's accounts. The initiative is promoted by the Municipality of Pontassieve and aims to preserve historical memory and pass it on to those who did not experience 1966.
