The story of a river, the Lambro, whose course winds for over 130 km through the most densely populated areas of Lombardy, provided an essential economic and recreational resource heavily exploited since the mid-1900s until 23 February 2010 when tons of hydrocarbons spilled into the river at Villasanta, in the province of Monza.
