Po River Boats, Italy, 2001

Photograph by William Albert Allard

"Wed to the river's ebb and flow, clammers harvest the 'gold of the delta' where the Po meets the Adriatic. Dark and powerful, sinister in flood, Italy's longest river brings both peril and prosperity to those hardy enough—or lucky enough—to live within its reach."

—From "Po: River of Pain and Plenty," May 2002, National Geographic magazine
