In this final Report, ITSC concludes that Florence remains at risk to significant flooding and this risk grows each day. It is not a question of whether a flood of the magnitude of 1966 or greater will occur, but when. In fact, the level of protection that exists in Florence now is not on a level appropriate to the citizens and treasures that rest within the city. If, under current conditions, a 1966-like flood occurred, the consequences to human lives, treasures, properties and community infrastructure could be much more catastrophic than they were in 1966. 410 0$aProceedings e report (Firenze University Press) 517 $aSaving a world treasure 606 $aFlood damage prevention 606 $aFlood control 615 0$aFlood damage prevention. 615 0$aFlood control. 676 $a307.09 700 $aSeminara$b Giovanni$01461311 801 0$bNjHacI 801 1$bNjHacl 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910774849003321 996 $aSaving a World Treasure$93666421 997 $aUNINA
