- Title
- Il vero riparo il facile, il naturale per ouuiare, ò rimediare ogni corrosione, e ruina di fiume, e torrente, abbenche giudicata irremediabile
- Description
- Capra's work is one of the key studies on flood control and river bank engineering, specifically of the Po River that forms the boundary between the regions of Lombardy, Emilia-Romagna, and the Veneto. It provides practical advice on how to protect the walls of the city of Cremona from the assaults of the Po. Engineering the river to prevent flooding and aid irrigation was a priority for many northern Italian towns in the seventeenth century, especially following devastating famines and the plague outbreak of 1629-1630.
