The Rai 1 cameras return to navigate our internal waters. Last Thursday 20th April a crew of Linea Verde Estate has embarked on the “middle river” touching Adria and the Delta: images and recorded interviews will be broadcast on August 4th, two months after the episode of Linea Verde Life which had already stopped on Canalbianco at the end of April as part of a focus dedicated to Rovigo and its territory.
If on that first occasion the vice-president of Assonautica Acque Interne Veneto and Emilia Rudy Toninato had been interviewed – recently involved again on TV in Agorà to talk about the difficulty in finding personnel with suitable qualifications for river cruises – and the former director of the museum of the Great Rivers Raffaele Peretto, the new service features Sandra Bedetti, archaeologist and vice-president of the Cpssae which highlighted the unique qualities of the territory in ancient times with a focus on the testimonies relating to ancient Adria and the protohistoric village of Frattesina; the episode at the beginning of August will also feature the mouth of the Po with its reed beds, the reclamation of Bonelli and the scano del Bastimento as well as Fratta Polesine, with Villa Badoer and the Matteotti house-museum in evidence.
Good news for Polesine: thanks to the interest and curiosity aroused on national television, even outside people are finally starting to talk about the many cultural and environmental excellences of the area: navigation and slow visitation in general act as an almost natural trait d’union in a context that historically has always had an important, very close and almost symbiotic relationship with water.
