The river Reno and its tributaries as we know them today, in fact, are the result of work by hydraulic control and remediation lasted for several centuries, at least since the 16th century. It ‘an artificial system, created by man, full of artifacts maneuver that allow you to direct and govern in part the flood events, the management of which requires, therefore, like all the works of man, a timely maintenance activities . *The plumbing of the Rhine basin are a wealth of works of considerable value, built mainly between the end of the 19th century and the first decades of the 900. Public works, therefore, that not only are they still crucial to the hydraulic safety of the area, as confirmed by the contents of the write-off of river basin plans recently adopted by the Basin of the Rhine, but which are also protected under legislation goods of historical and environmental interest. I manufatti di manovra per la regolazione idraulica di un corso d’acqua sono ancora oggi determinanti, nel corso di eventi di piena, per garantire lo smaltimento della portata quando si supera un livello stabilito. Sono manufatti, o ingegneristicamente, opere d’arte, dette “Chiaviche”. The Chiavica is therefore a ‘work of art or installed between the banks of the watercourse or nell’argine to adjust the exhaust in, or from, the river and to prevent it from rising to regurgitation, the flood waters of the the river itself. *The work includes a threshold between two abutments and wing walls: the shoulders are anchored to the vertical guides (gargami) which run the sluice gates of the dam or the girders. *The figure on the right confirms that the geometry of the works of today is not much different from those of ancient times.
