A Waterman’s World
Photograph by William Albert Allard
In the Po Delta, Mario Moretti rakes a clam bed that has been seeded by a local fishing cooperative. Some clammers, clad in wetsuits, wade in the water to rake the clams by hand, while others use mechanical dredges that Moretti says destroy the habitat. He sticks to his heavy rasca, a long-handled net, even though he says the backbreaking work makes young men old. “The best part of my day is heading in with my catch,” says Moretti, who admits that time spent on the water is worth the effort. |
