“Sguardi sul fiume Adige” is a significant Italian publication that shifts our gaze from historical currents to modern-day hydrological security. This focus is anything but trivial, given the Adige River’s crucial role as one of Italy’s major water arteries. Ponte di Piave, named after its namesake river crossing (the Piave River), symbolizes more than just a bridge—it is a vital piece of infrastructure holding immense social and economic weight.
