‘All I could think about were those who lived below street level.’ This was the first thought that struck Sherry Peregrin, a student and one of many Americans who lived in Florence’s historical center during the flood of 1966. She further recounts her experience, saying, ‘I remember the sound of the water rushing just below my windowsill. I was stuck in the apartment for two days.’ Her testimony is one of the many episodes included in a new book that has graced book stores for the past few weeks, entitled, 4 November 1966. The Flood in Florence.
