Having dry up the “secret passage” under the Arno and reviewing the light at the bottom of the tunnel, this is the first intervention in progress on the underwater walkway carried out in 1870 at the service of the water factory in Florence Capital, the first aqueduct that pumped water to At the Florentine taps. Final objective: use 7.5 million in the development and cohesion fund to reopen the path between the tower of Zecca and the San Niccolò tower in 2026. There are three waterproofs at work to dry up the passage that will then be monitored by a robot in charge of inspections and, if everything proceeds according to the plans, intervene on the cracks and losses, waterproof the structure and reopen it to Florentines and tourists.
