Its catchment area exceeds 700 km², up to the bridge of Via Emilia in Imola alone , it covers 423 km², of which 231 is in Tuscany and 192 in Romagna . At Castel del Rio the river runs through the 1499 by Obizzo Alidosi commissioned bridge Ponte Alidosi , by Andrea Gurrieri was realized.

history
The Romans knew him as Vatrenus (little Reno), but on the Peutinger map he is already called Santernus . Since then, it has changed its course, both naturally and as a result of artificial interventions. The existence of a hamlet called Santerno in Ravenna , which is now near the Lamone River , confirms that it flowed east of Bagnacavallo in ancient times . After Imola the river split into two arms, the north-east towards Ravenna probably disappeared in the eighth century, while the north continues to flow to the Po . The Santerno was a constant threat to the population. The dikes in the area of Massa Lombarda, for example, broke 14 times between 1679 and 1778 .
