Rome, Paris, London, Vienna... the most beautiful metropolises in Europe owe their fame and power to a large extent to the rivers on which they are located. Since the dawn of time, people, looking for the most convenient places to settle, have chosen the valleys of life-giving rivers, which fed, watered, irrigated crops, fertilized the soil, and collected waste. They were also fast communication routes and played a defensive role in emergency situations. In Leonardo da Vinci's design of an ideal city in 1487, the river was a sine qua non condition. It ensured not only proper hygiene, but also the transport of goods, which allowed for the reconciliation of practical an,d aesthetic requirements.
