    It was inaugurated in 1924, in the presence of King Vittorio Emanuele, as the final act of the long reclamation work in the Bolognese plain, carried out "per capmata" and lasting more than a century. The engine room is stunning. The same plants that Vittorio Emanuele saw in 1924: six "Franco Tosi" pumps with three-phase synchronous power supply, the prehistory of contemporary electricity. Level measurements, in the basins downstream and upstream of the dewatering pump, still take place using a refined pulley mechanism, where everything seems ninety years old.
