Water isn't just a backdrop, it's the protagonist. In Bestiario idrico (Water Bestiary) , Marco Paolini creates a vast fresco of the river landscape: banks, dams, canals, and riverbeds that over the years we have built, diverted, and exploited, forever transforming the land we inhabit. Through storytelling, science, and memory, Paolini gives voice to a "bestiary" of real and symbolic creatures: the animals that inhabit the riverbanks, the communities that depend on water, the technicians and administrators called upon to decide when there is too much or too little water. The book discusses floods and droughts, climate change, planning errors, and conflicts between those who use water to produce energy, those for irrigation, and those for safe living.
