The Ombrone Pistoiese at Poggio a Caiano

The Ombrone Pistoiese is a 42 km long river in Italy in the Tuscany region . It runs through the provinces of Pistoia and Prato as well as the metropolitan city of Florence from north to south.

course

The Ombrone Pistoiese rises in the northern municipality of Pistoia about 1 km north-east of the district Sammommè (the district is located at 555  meters above sea level ) near the mountain pass Passo della Porretta (also Passo della Collina called). Approx. 3 km northwest of Pistoia, the Vincio di Brandeglio tributary enters from the right . Then it runs west of the city of Pistoia to the south. To the southwest of Pistoia in the district of Pontelungo, the Vincio di Montagnana flows from the west , then it flows under the A11 autostrada . In the local area of ​​Pistoia, the river spends a total of 22 km before flowing through Ferruccia (district of Agliana ). The river then runs between the places Agliana and Quarrata east of the mountain Monte Albano , whereby it represents the border to Prato and thus also between the provinces of Pistoia and Prato in the eastern municipality of Quarrata.

In the province of Prato, north of Poggetto (northern district of Poggio a Caiano ), first the Iolo comes in from Iolo (western district of Prato ) from the left and the tributary Stella (coming from Serravalle Pistoiese ) from the right , then near the bridge Ponte a Tigliano the tributary Furba (also from the right). Between Poggetto and Poggio a Caiano, it passes the Ponte Leopoldo II bridge (also called Ponte Manetti ) built by Alessandro Manetti in 1833 , which is considered to be the first suspension bridge built in Italy with iron ropes and which was destroyed by the retreating Wehrmacht in August 1944 . The Ombrone now flows east around the town of Poggio a Caiano and passes the bridge Ponte del Molino (Via Roma) and further south the Ponte all'Asse (Via Vittorio Emanuele, both bridges also destroyed in 1944 and later rebuilt), shortly afterwards it becomes the Border river between the province of Prato and the metropolitan city of Florence, where it briefly touches the municipality of Campi Bisenzio and then acts as the border between Signa (FI) and Carmignano (PO) for 3 km . In the district of Stazione (Carmignano) it flows into the Arno as a right tributary.
