fluvial defensive structure located in Stellata, a hamlet of Bondeno, in the province of Ferrara. Located on the southern bank of the Po river, it was connected to the Rocca Benedetta di Ficarolo on the other river bank: a chain pulled between the two fortresses acted as a river barrier for defensive reasons or to impose customs duties on merchant ships (via Wikipedia https: / /it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rocca_di_Stellata)

Mariano.
The Rocca Possente of Bondeno is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Opposite, on the other bank of the Po, was a twin fortress.
Both operated a chain that prevented the passage of boats on the Po for military reasons and for the payment of duties.
The cycle path on the left side of the Po is very beautiful.
