The book delves into how the river has shaped the identity of communities along its banks for millennia, functioning as a vital artery of life. The study uniquely combines historical accounts, archaeological findings, and ethnographic research to uncover the Po's enduring influence. Intriguingly, the river was venerated as a divine entity in ancient times, and its myths have evolved into integral parts of the region's cultural heritage.
The book is structured to provide a comprehensive understanding of the subject, starting with the geographical and historical context of the Po River Valley. It then explores the river's association with ancient deities and the transformation of ancient beliefs into medieval legends and modern-day traditions. Ultimately, the book demonstrates how the Po's myths and legends continue to influence contemporary life, shaping local customs, artistic expression, and environmental stewardship. This approach offers a focused exploration of the riverâs most significant spiritual and cultural associations.
