ROVIGO – Rai1 cameras return to navigating our inland waters. Last Thursday 20th April a troupe from Linea Verde Estate embarked on the “middle river” touching Adria and the Delta: recorded images and interviews will be broadcast on 4th August two months after the episode of Linea Verde Life which had already stopped on the Canalbianco at the end of April as part of a focus dedicated to Rovigo and its territory.
While on that first occasion the interviewees had been the vice-president of Assonautica Acque Interne Veneto ed Emilia Rudy Toninato – 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 Museo dei Grandi Fiumi Raffaele Peretto, the new service instead features Sandra Bedetti, archaeologist and vice-president of the Cpssae who 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 Bonelli reclamation works and the Bastimento canal 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 we are finally starting to talk about the many cultural and environmental excellences of the area: navigation and slow visits in general are the trait d’ almost natural union in a context that historically has always had an important, very close and almost symbiotic relationship with water.
