Drought emergency in Emilia Romagna and Lombardy region - Italy 2022

The worst drought of the last 70 years has hit Italy, with dramatic consequences for ecosystems and agriculture.
Farmers look for water in old and forgotten emergency wells, abandon less profitable crops to their fate and hope for rain to come.
The most important rivers in the Country are at an all-time low and more and more are disappearing every day.
In their place, desert lands remain and ancient bridges and wrecks of the Second World War re-emerge from the bottom of the Po River.
