The city of Turin and the city of Venice are connected through the Po river. More recently, they have dramatically been connected by the wrecking of two tourists boats, due to a storm. As cities built close to water they are at risk for the consequences of climate change, while in the past the Po was navigable, to the point that a Bucentaur was commissioned and built in Venice for the Savoy Royal family and it was brought to Torino for regal celebrations along the river.

Abstract
The city of Turin and the city of Venice are connected through the Po river. More recently, they have dramatically been connected by the wrecking of two tourists boats, due to a storm. As cities built close to water they are at risk for the consequences of climate change, while in the past the Po was navigable, to the point that a Bucentaur was commissioned and built in Venice for the Savoy Royal family and it was brought to Torino for regal celebrations along the river.
