There was a problem in Florence, Italy in the early 1500's. The Arno River, the main export source of Florence, wasn't connected to the sea, and that made the trading with other countries, and areas more difficult. It was Leonardo's and Machiavelli's dream to connect the Arno river by a series of canals, that would make the Arno river connect with the Ocean.
