Abstract
The territory on the right bank of the Po River, along its course in the south of Mantova province, straddling the Lombardy and Emilia Romagna regions, is characterized by waters and shows the marks of transformations from roman times, followed in the XI century by Benedictine drainage and the works of Consortium of Reclamation during the early Twentieth century. The result is a leveling landscape, a redesign of the irrigation system, the construction of hydraulic buildings, the agricultural settlements have transformed the whole area. The aim to investigate and to understand the landscape as a set, in order to promote the knowledge and dissemination of informations, involving several institutions, has required the identification of a data management tool, for a diachronic reading. The elaborated geographic information system, the survey and investigation of all hydraulic buildings, the guidelines for the protection and enhancement of the landscape are part of a project that sees in the creation of a Study Center located in the Polirone monastery in San Benedetto Po (MN), an "hub" that can collect data, monitor changes and give directions for the landscape governance at different levels.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
