The choice of site

After several inspections, the most suitable spot to house the work was identified along the Po embankment. A sufficiently spacious area that will allow Sweet Home to move naturally during the floating sessions.
The positioning will be agreed upon with the technical office of the Suzzara Municipality and the various authorities.

The Po has its origin in Piedmont, more specifically on Monviso, at Pian del Re, it directly washes three chief towns (Turin, Piacenza, Cremona) and laps a fourth (Ferrara), also marking for long stretches the border between Lombardy and Emilia-Romagna, as well as between the latter and Veneto, before flowing into the Adriatic Sea in a vast delta with six branches. It crosses 13 provinces (Cuneo, Turin, Vercelli, Alessandria, Pavia, Lodi, Cremona, Mantua, Piacenza, Parma, Reggio Emilia, Ferrara and Rovigo). For most of its course, the Po flows over a flat territory to which it gives its name, the Po Valley. Due to its geographical position, length, basin and the historical, social and economic events that have affected the river since antiquity, the Po is recognised as the most important of Italy's rivers.
