“The Terzolle then crosses the Rifredi district, which derives its name from the cold water of the Terzolle (which was called Rio freddo), which in winter reach really low temperatures (5-6 °C). After crossing the Ponte di Mezzo, the Terzolle joins the Mugnone, at the height of the Ponte di San Donato. The watercourse continues keeping the name of Mugnone up to the confluence of the Arno river, at the height of the Ponte all'Indiano. Originally the Terzolle flowed into the Arno at a point near the present Ponte alla Vittoria.” (Terzolle, Wikipedia)
