Journey to the mouth of the dry Po, where the sea invades the salt water river

PORTO TOLLE (Rovigo) – It rained, but it is not raining and it will not rain. The Po, lean, dry and salty as well, sounds like a joke to say it but it is a tragedy. Just look at the wheat fields: long brown stripes, a sign that the seedlings have died there, and only after a long time does the tender green start again. “Sea water? An excellent herbicide ”, they say in these parts.
