Once the rice farming activity ended, the agricultural landscape was replaced by dry crops such as wheat, beetroot, corn ... The nineties saw a small but substantial revolution in this monoculture landscape, thanks to the provision of community contributions in 1998 what was an anonymous triangle of fields was transformed into the natural area we know today, through environmental restoration interventions natural features typical of the plain. ...
