According to the common opinion of historians and geographers, 19th century land reclamation by artificial aggradation (filling) in low Ombrone river catchment, caused the beginning of the geomorphological pahse of retrogradation of the Ombrone river delta, still active to this day. Cartographic comparisons and measurements don’t confirm this opinion. Maps reveal that retrogradation began when artificial aggradation was neglected.
