Pontedera is in the Arno valley at the confluence of the Era River and the Arno River. It is across by Scolmatore channel and by Roglio, Era's tributary. It has a small lake in Pietroconti called Braccini lake. On 11 June 1554, Pontedera was the scene of a pyrrhic victory in the last effort by the Republic of Siena to retain its independence. Piero Strozzi, commanding the Siense forces, won at Pontedera but this only led to his decisive defeat two months later at the Battle of Marciano and the end of the Senese independence. bcl:Pontedera bg:Понтедера ca:Pontedera de:Pontedera es:Pontedera eo:Pontedera fr:Pontedera it:Pontedera la:Pons Herae lmo:Pontedera nl:Pontedera ja:ポンテデーラ nap:Pontedera pms:Pontedera pl:Pontedera pt:Pontedera ru:Понтедера simple:Pontedera sv:Pontedera tl:Pontedera roa-tara:Pontedera uk:Понтедера vec:Pontedera vo:Pontedera war:Pontedera zh:蓬泰代拉 |
