ABSTRACT
This chapter explores the Po Delta area, located at the mouth of the longest Italian river. Our aim is to read this geographical region as a site for cultural heritage by using the concept of the chronotope. We will interpret the Po River as a liquid chronotope that works on both a metaphorical-narrative and physical-geographical level in shaping the Po Delta area as a liquid landscape. Through Gianni Celati’s travel diaries, Verso la Foce, we tried to read the landscape through the lens of literature during experimental fieldwork done in March 2015.
